    I like multiculturalism.

    I got my South African plums, my Chicken Tikka sandwich, my Vientnam peanuts, with my Spanish orange drink.

    aka - my lunch today.

    Sure, and where I live there is no problem at all, it's really cozy. And I like to keep it like that, I do not agree with this euro-mediteranean agreement to say the least and give kqri a welcome warm back.

    Because of other cultures influences, I am able to buy these things, as shops have them stocked.

    no, that's called free trade, i think you'll find we were importing tea* and bananas quite some time before multiculturalism** outed itself as stupid idea of the day.

    * Although the custom of drinking tea dates back to the third millennium BC in China, it was not until the mid 17th century that the beverage first appeared in England.

    ** Multiculturalism was adopted as official policy, in several Western nations from the 1970s onward, for reasons that varied from country to country. Multiculturalism is the acceptance or promotion of multiple ethnic cultures, for practical reasons and/or for the sake of diversity and applied to the demographic make-up of a specific place, usually at the organizational level, e.g. schools, businesses, neighborhoods, cities or nations.

    aka, allowing black and white kids go to the same school, instead of different schools based on their skin colour.

    That is peanuts, in Amsterdam the only condition for getting a high function at the city council is not being white, actual job describtion. Then you are excluded, can't join, aren't welcome, unable to participate.

    lefties.

    I was talking about the 1970's, in particular, the end of Racial segregation in the United States in schools. (Yes, it was that recent.)


    nutjobs.

    This sounds a bit like hyperbole.

    As opposed to the private sector, where the job description is "being white"...?

    Let's face it Frags; we as heterosexual, white males do have an advantage over those who are not. When job applications are flicked through, we will be chosen by default if our qualifications are about equal.

    That is the reason why other groups are "positively discriminated".
