Multiculturalism is neither good nor bad, it just is. There are plusses and minuses to it, like most phenomena in this world. What's amusing is to see certain leftist types promoting it as a cure for all that ails ya, and then to watch the rightist types foam at the mouth, declaring that it's a subversion of all that is good and right in America.

Needless to say, not only are both wrong, but wildly overreacting.

I'm sorry to hear that Britain is spending gobs of cash on the subject, however. I've always felt that these sorts of cultural issues sort themselves out over time, without a lot of government interference necessary. You don't need an English First initiative to keep the land pure, and you don't need a ministry of diversity to keep the game fair. Things work out. Just you watch.
