Does multiculturalism actually work?

Correct your own issues, Starkey:

1) You still don't know the difference between pluralism and "multiculturalism"

2) You still display an ignorance of U.S. history

3) You still haven't figured out how to use the Reply button

To compound your errors you've refuted nothing I posted.

 

Demonize today, assimilate tomorrow. Like virtually every "ethnic" American. Irish, Italian, German, Scandinavian, etc. etc.

As a Canadian, I'm proud of our multicultural society, but there are great swathes of "all Canadian white people country", many of whom are casually bigoted. We are just a bunch of humans, after all.

 

You still respond snarkily and are incorrect. What you are posting is not doing what you think it is doing.

Since you don't contribute, as far as I am concerned, you are now OI.

 

"Multiculturalism" is just another form of racism. We just can't seem to get rid of it can we?

 

nonsense, although I can clearly see we can't get rid of racism, can we?

 

Consider my comment doubled down.

 

its called the backfire effect.

 

I hope that's a promise and not a threat.

 

I'm not a Meltonian. But you can always buy land in SA, we'll sell it to anyone - we need the money!

 

Deportation of illegals, testing for ability to speak English, elimination of the "asylum" scam, elimination of chain migration, extreme vetting of new entries, assimilation checks and deportation for those who fail.......and, of course, the wall and military on the border.

(Oh yeah.......death penalty for anybody caught eating tacos or caught in possession of pinata.)

 

Zero chance of that. Good luck

 

Go away. Multiculturalism continues.

 

You getting a taco at taco bell is not multiculturalism. I'm sure you're driving away munching on your burrito supreme thinking that multiculturalism is just great, but the reality is that war is the natural result of cultures coming together.

And yes, we also enjoy learning about different kinds of cuisine.

 

I grew up in a Mexican-American community of less than five thousand on the beach in San Diego county. Then we were all lower economic class. The one doctor lived in a house on the same street as the single mother with four young children. We all ended up speaking Spanish and English, dated one another, played sports together, and had no trouble beating up 'whites only' kids. They were trash. Many of us did well with our lives and marriages. A few of died in Vietnam and several were crippled. We all believe in the American dream, not the nightmare of the Trump nationalists.

 

So you were all lower economic class. Where is the multiculturalism in your arc of a story? Same economic class, same languages, dating each other, same sports, no problem beating up white kids, same version of whites as trash.

Why did you consider whites as trash?

I'm getting from this that you see whites as a different... race? Sounds pretty racist, if you ask me. I don't mind, just that I know that some low intelligence types do view race as a cultural barrier, which you obviously do.

Belch is unable to understand, nothing new. (1) 'whites only' kids, not 'white kids'; (2) the multiculturalism is obvious; (3) only Belch misreads to see "whites as a different . . . race?"

The great thing is that Belch's world is gone, not coming back. Real Americans committed to the future will not allow it back.

 

Where is the multiculturalism? Your second idea is that multiculturalism is obvious, but don't explain.

Where is it? I don't think you know anything about it. That's why you'll never explain. Just more "well, taco bell sells tacos and I bought some tacos from taco bell."

I still insist you know nothing about it, and that you'll never be able to point to anything.

 

You see, unlike you, I have actually experienced multiculturalism, and it's tough!!!!! You can try, but it's really tough to deal with people whose cultures don't coincide with yours.

Where is the multicultualism you espouse? Nothing but "we all are great together, and have no problems".

If you have no problems, you know nothing about it because your cultures haven't really been different.

So you are failing in building a consensus with others. That's your problem, Belch, no one else's.

I feel no sorrow for you. It is not all one way, your way.

You have no idea whatsoever what is 'multiculturalism.' Real Americans don't want your path.

 

You have yet to define multiculturalism.

I'm not looking for your sympathy. What I'm hoping for (but no real expectations) is that you might define multiculturalism. I just don't think you know what it is.

You accuse me of failing to build a consensus, but that's notthing to do with the topic.

Have you ever even been outside of the US? Outside of your state?

Highly doubtful.

 

The future belongs to the young and the younger generations don't generally subscribe to these outdated and bigoted opinions.

In short, it doesn't really matter in the grand scheme of things whether you dislike the presence of ethnicities and cultures other than your own. This is America and America has had a plurality of cultures for a very long time and will continue in the same manner long after we're all gone.

So, that leaves the discontented with a few options,
1.) Leave this country for whatever "culturally pure" place your heart desires, or
2.) Continue to be miserable codgers complaining about other people because they aren't exactly like you, or
3.) Learn to live in peace with your neighbors

BTW, none of this is new. When Germans started arriving the bigots started kicking and screaming, then they cried some more over the Irish and Chinese, then the Italians and Jews. Luckily, over the years the bigots have lost all their teeth and are relegated to whining anonymously on the internet. The war you guys are trying to "fight" was lost long before any of you were born. And that's a good thing.

 

Your logic is laughable. You could apply it to back when slavery was legal, and you'd still be able to say everything you said.

and yes, your racist views are not new. We've had to deal with the presence of Afrikans for centuries, and so what if we don't like slavery? It's just a plurality of cultures, and afrikans are just one of those cultures. The Irish are another culture, and too bad about their potatoes...,.

actual arguments you have? None.

 

I don't have to define anything for Belch. He simply does not like the direction in which America is inevitably heading, and he can do nothing about it.

Belch has never been outside of his village, while I have been all over the world and the US. Belch has no idea what is multiculturalism and has no desire to learn.

tomfool3ry had made a justifiable laughingstock of those who resist the future.

 

Can someone translate this to English for me? Thanks.

 

It means you're incapable of logical argumentation.

It's okay. You're a lefty, so it's expected. That's why all you boyah's have are questions.

Actual rebuttals? lololol!!!! it's like asking a blind man to describe the color blue. You are incapable.

sigh... look, stop asking questions because they don't work with me. Provide logical arguments or rebuttals. That's all I ask.

These questions with no relevance drive me bonkers. Try... just try...

I don't think it's possible, but I do encourage you to try.
