Multiculturalism is appealing to those minority cultures,once they are dominant in an area it is somehow 'wrong' to be multicultural....

Multiculturalism is the death of any nation or state that attempts to embrace it.

You cannot have a cohesive nation when people are separate in their beliefs and ways.

Are you a politician by any chance because you sure beat round the bush like one.
Uh huh...

I already said I don't know if the crime is based upon hate. Is there a link that says that this happened? I've asked for it and you have not provided it yet so to me this is just to prove a point you want to make about race which I wont participate in.

Does it matter what I think or anyone thinks? The only thing that matters is what the LAW says.

I know its easy to forget that when you are driving a point home, but if this incident is going to be procesuted a s ahate crime the investigation and evidence as it pertains to the LAW is what matters.

The OP has where the gang of black thugs yelled out "This is a black world" and "This is our world", isn't that the slightest bit hateful??

If you and I got in a fight and I used the dreaded 'N' word(ONLY to be used by black people) is it a hate crime?

Given that our country will be 50% non-white relatively soon, who shall define American culture, and who shall assimilate to it?

Exactly the point I was trying to make.

When you have a minority group that identifies itself with another nation and ethnicity and has mainstream political groups called 'The Race' you are bound to be heading for trouble.

Hope you plan to learn Spanish....

I believe Hispanics are the largest minority now so expect the politicians to bow and scrape themselves to satisfy THEIR demands.

Not up here in Northern New England, or Alaska for that matter...

It's interesting that you don't realize that EVERY nation in the world is multicultural. However, you are on the belief that a homogenous nation is more successful. There is no such thing as a culturally homogenous nation. Even nations such as Japan do have various cultures living within it. If all of the needs of the people are met (a fair stake of power, prosperous economy, and a common goal) then multiculturalism can, and does, work. Switzerland is a great example. French Swiss are VERY different from German Swiss, who are different from Italian Swiss. Italian Swiss are not at all the same as Romansh Swiss. Yet they are all Swiss.

It's your type of thinking that will signal the end of America.

Sigh....Australia was for almost all of it's modern history of one race....it was homogenous and wasn't foundering...now not so much.

Same with the USA in it's past.Perhaps when you feel you are not part of the main group you dislike the idea of a monoculture....

I do not need to feel better about it,it is just how it is.
EVERY race and ethnicity has done exactly the same.

You just seem to be stuck on the evil whiteys.

I am glad actually that the Indians were defeated,it made for a better nation.[/quote]

Fascinating positioning of your statements here. They speak volumes without explicitly doing so.

Why can't you have a cohesive nation when people have separate beliefs and ways?

Every family has their own beliefs, ways, traditions. It doesn't stop them from getting along with their neighbors.

People find commonality with each other despite their differences. We are all individuals. Cohesion has nothing to do with our differences, only the strength of our commonalities. Multiculturalism isn't death to any nation or state, it's a strength because people become more adept at making connections with the diverse people who live within its borders. The only problem come not from multiculturalism, but from people who cannot focus on anything but the differences between people. And that's a choice.
