Attempts to build a multicultural society in Germany have "utterly failed", Chancellor Angela Merkel says.


In a speech in Potsdam, she said the so-called "multikulti" concept - where people would "live side-by-side" happily - did not work.

First Castro admints Communism didn't work. Now Merkel admits multicultaralism doesn't work. Looks like the dreams of the far left are dimming fast. Well, better to dim than to be a dhimmi!

Looks like there really is no pot of gold at the end of the rainbow.

Yeah, because stating multiculturalism is failing to produce the desired results of happy co-habitation amongst different cultures is the same as committing mass genocide, right?

Hitler has nothing to do with it. Those Postmodernist hippie university professors spreading their failed philosophy have, at long last, failed. And thank God for that. It took an East German hausfrau to figure that all out for us.

[MOD CUT] This country did fine as a "melting pot" but has never been so divisive as when multi-culturalism was promoted and we all became hyphenated Americans.

Did fine? At which point in US history did the 'melting pot' do fine?

Of course it has failed how could anyone expect success?

"Can you cite one speck of hard evidence of the benefits of "diversity" that we have heard gushed about for years? Evidence of its harm can be seen — written in blood — from Iraq to India, from Serbia to Sudan, from Fiji to the Philippines. It is scary how easily so many people can be brainwashed by sheer repetition of a word."— Thomas Sowell

I see the praises to multiculturalism everywhere I go at work, in schools and even public places yet not a single adherent can tell me of its benefits.

A melting pot of Europeans where you had the English, the Irish, the Italians, the French and the Germans.

But even with this limited multiculturalism we had problems with Germans during WWI.
