    In many ways, it has worked well. Only problems with it are: Racists and those failing to assilimate into society and strangely oppose it.

    In a way, Multicultural Society in concept can be seen as the borg...
    In the Star Trek fictional universe, assimilation is the process by which the Borg integrate beings and cultures into their collective. "You will be assimilated" is one of the few on-screen phrases employed by the Borg when communicating with other species. The Borg are portrayed as having encountered and assimilated thousands of species and billions to trillions of individual life-forms throughout the galaxy.
    The differences is, they bring their cultural, ideas and technological with them, which can assist in adapting and improving the system, to become a more superior system.

    There is no, or hardly any, racism in the Netherlands. The multiculturalist dream tends to become positive discrimination when things go wrong, and people can see that, those that are supposed to run a country grasping at straws when they don't have an answer. It are so many small things that ultimately adds up to becoming something unbearable. The people lecturing you have no idea what they are talking about they live in an alternative reality where society is always to blame and it are just a few screws that need a few 360's. But it isn't, for some life is a living hell they have to deal with intimidation daily. You can't expect those people to trust the status quo, it's the status quo that lets them down.

    It is the American/Austrialian and Anglosphere opinion, which many British actually agree with. "If they come to our country, they must obey our rules, our laws, and become British. If they want to still be a racist-term, they can go back there."

    It is a opinion some one could symphaise with quite easy.

    Agree until 'become British', can't expect that from them as you aren't giving any clarity on which lines can't be crossed. On monday you are inviting it, on tuesday you are giving it, on wednesday you are wondering why, on thursday you want it back, and on friday you just take it, have a nice weekend it was a great week.
