Multiculturalism is dead

[Husar]

It's not a point scoring game where we add up our points and try to make the total come out greater than theirs (whoever "they" are...).

That's what I was saying.

This seems completely....wrong. We are no better than societies that stone women because....we don't pay chinese workers enough?

That's not what I was saying.

My point is that this politician talks about protecting our civilization and whatnot with blanket statements that reinforce the notion that other cultures are inferior to ours in every way. IMO other cultures may have benefits as well and instead of dismissing them outright based on blanket statements we may actually want to adopt some of their benefits. And hope that they adopt some of the benefits of our culture. The issue isn't black and white but pandering to xenophobic ideas makes it seem so and just reinforces these xenophobic ideas.

I guess I'm a failure at english if that really wasn't clear from my previous posts.

Sure his statement is true but I take issue with the intention and the effect it has regardless of that.
