It seems to me that Multiculturalism in reality is the promotion of foreign cultures, while at the same time suppressing American culture...
I just came back from travelling over Asia and what I really notice when I visit Asia is how much more smooth everything feels. You visit Japan, or Korea, or China, and there’s just this sense that everyone is on the same page, everyone understands each other and theres no real disconnect.
Contrast that to USA, when you get back, and you hear what feels like every language under the sun (other than your own sometimes), you have communities (starting to make up whole suburbs) that voluntarily segregate themselves, communities that have no real wish to mix with each other than for tokenistic stuff for the cameras on multicultural week, neighbours who don’t talk to each other anymore (which in part is a result of multiculturalism, especially in big cities, and even amongst people of the same ethnic group - some Havard professor did a study on this - to paraphrase, people “stick their necks in like turtles” and avoid contact a lot more), and other than to eat at a foreign food restaurant once in a while there’s not a great deal of real cross-cultural interest that I see going on.
Can we just admit that multicultralism just doesn't work?
