Which I mentioned. But their African cultures are gone, obviously due to extreme circumstances that don't apply to many other minorities the world over, but the same holds true for many long-term minorities in America to different extents. Cultures evolve, but when exposed to majority cultures in non-native countries the original culture is still altered to the point where it more or less dies.

I'm a bigot against Muslims. OK? Is that clear enough?

I not only know what multicultural means but I also understand it's application. I don't think my ideas should be stamped on the entire planet.

Just another example

Cause I'm sure the Israelites of the Old Testament have had an unchanged culture throughout the last few thousand years. Unless you consider simply the continued observance of holidays to be the benchmark of multiculturalism. There are very few groups besides the Jews that illustrate just how much being influenced by majority cultures can irrevocably and intensely alter culture. I mean, they come from the Middle East, and yet all the Jews I've known might as well be Anglo-Saxon Protestants.

It's a bad idea for arrogant westerners to tell the rest of the world what they should do.

I've already said I don't support the alternative to multiculturalism, but multiculturalism still has the effect of diluting minority culture. It's simply a reality that you have to accept.

Multicultural

Because they're the majority culture. Am I talking to a wall or something?

There's also uniformity among multicultural societies. The world is more multicultural without universal multiculturalism. As hard headed and bigoted as I am, I'm still flabbergasted at how nonchalantly people announce their values as suitable for the rest of the world. Liberals, conservatives, Christians, Muslims all do that ****. People who like to drop acid say everyone should drop acid. People who care for disabled children say everyone should see what it's like. People who want to live in a multicultural society think everyone should be forced to. People who work hard think everyone should work hard. Like I said way back at the beginning if China doesn't want a Muslim voice in their country so be it. If they don't want me I won't visit. Whatever.

Yeah. I like African-American culture. I like Mexican culture. I don't like Iranian culture. Tough ****.

Yes, minority culture can influence majority culture, but A.) they're still not being influenced by African culture, B.) hip hop culture for white people is a self-indulgent, pop culture fad, and C.) white culture is still completely intact.

How can you not see that you are totally grasping at straws? Give it up, bro. Multiculturalism has benefits, but just like EVERY-****ING-THING ELSE ON EARTH, it has it's negative effects.
