Do -you- believe in Multiculturalism?

[Lábaru]

Whenever they take these multiculturalism pictures, the girls are always white, but the boys are foreign. This is why I oppose multiculturalism.

The two white women are hotties and the Asian girl is an orc.

[Neanderthal]

I do not, i'm tired of that in real life, why should I be loggin into an European preservation Forum to face the same stuff?

Multiracialism? No.

Monoracial multiculturalism? Yes, as long as it doesn't get too carried away.

Isn't it always amusing? These corporate or university multicultural ads always, like clockwork, have one or two gorgeous white women then exactly, a black male, an Asian of some form, and then some third race, usually some fat black woman or something.

The black male is always closest to the white women and is always dangling around them, always. It is never the Asian dangling on the white women or the Arab, it is always the black ghetto kid. It's social engineering.

The multiculturalism of today is like a ridiculous religion. The word also means something different to everybody which makes it even more difficult to talk about. It's the perfect abstract idea for government/liberal groups/immigration lobbyists to use for all sorts of social projects.

I don't think all cultures are equal because I don't like the moral values of some cultures.

I do think multiculturalism can work if defined specifically such as between certain similar cultures (like "French Culture, German Culture" rather than loosely like "Western Culture").

I'm ok with a light form of multiculturalism (like a small number of elite Japanese high tech high IQ business men etc. I would love to have them as foreign workers) but not the heavy forms of today; Like affirmative action for example (which is racism), or the massive immigration quotas.

Do I believe in multiculturalism? No, if culture is defined very loosely. This is because everyone shouldn't always be included.

No, I don't. You cannot simply bring in large groups of people from all over the world, which have very little in common ethnically, socially and religiously, and expect a harmonious coexistence. Societies can't be molded into such, as is the misconception of multicultural advocates. Moreover, I don't see any real advantage or enrichment: it's always the music or the food or the clothing being highlighted. That's a superficial and mere sensory perception of things, and doesn't offer much in-depth knowledge about these cultures. But they've manifested themselves sufficiently, so we've learned enough about them to see it doesn't work, and that it always depends on the empathy of the European or the American.
And I don't think that people in the US ever have felt very happy about the circumstance that whites and blacks have to live together, it is a problem that continues till the present day.

[Treffie]

This is true, Britain is already multicultural (Welsh, Irish, Scottish, English) without being multiracial.

Exactly. I'm not a fan of multiracialism, but bi-culturalism (multi-culturalism) is an essential part of my life.

I prefer my own. That others have different traditions is but a reality. I've lived on three continents, but none that were so very different. All were, at one time or another, part of the English Commonwealth.

Humans are not animals. All people have something good in them and if you learn then to use only good, we can live in harmonious society. I like learning from others (it will help to neutralize your own negative sides for example), but it doesn't mean i will lose my own culture if i do it.

I agree with you in part or in spirit, and as well with Mordy in his reply to you that followed. Though a part of this biosphere, it is not difficult to see that we are, or can at times be, a bit more in mentality than the other creatures in the animated world. It is an old problem, and one in which such a mentality is needed. The old solutions never solved the problems for very long.

[Damboriena]

Of course not ! My land is not a laboratory. It has been the same since thousands of years, we are happy with what we are.
