This is a call for "multiculturalism" in its classic academic definition. That academic argument suggests that if we all try to treat one another as human beings and set aside outdated notions like nationalism and maintaining cultural stability in the face of shifting demographics, we will be able to build a new culture that adapts to change on an ongoing basis and seemlessly blends the beautiful strengths drawn from many cultures into a new whole.
That view of multiculturalism works just about as well as the original blend of Marxism. As in, theoretically beautiful, but dead in the water on practical terms.
IA, medicine is good so you are likely with us a while. In addition, that civil war has already begun -- it is just that, as with most modern wars -- we will not get something as crisply defined or resolvable as Roundheads v Cavaliers. It will meander on in low intensity civil disorder with spurts of terrorism until one side or the other's reactionary fringe engineers a repressive government to stop it.
