just read a coolmoe article by dinesh d'souza entitled Multiculturalism: Fact or Threat. d'souza is one smart cookie. and cute as a bug's ear, too! here's a nibble:
"There has been a remarkable demographic shift that has changed the complexion of American society over the last 40 years. One reason for this change is the fact that most immigrants today come from Asia, Africa, and Latin America, rather than from Europe. A second contributing factor is birthrates: those of non-white minorities are substantially higher than that of whites. Taken together, these have led to what some have called the "browning of America." In this sense, we can speak of multiculturalism as a fact. But it is important to distinguish this fact from the ideology that goes by the same name. The ideology of multiculturalism demands the transformation of America's educational and political institutions in response to the new demographic reality. This ideology of multiculturalism, unlike the fact of multiculturalism, poses a threat to what is best and highest in America.
Multiculturalists insist that we change how we teach our children, in order to reshape how they think. Specifically, they must stop thinking of Western and American civilization as superior to other civilizations. The doctrine underlying this position is cultural relativism..."
The very notion that Western Latin Civilization is anything but superior to all of the other attempts man has made at organizing himself is daft. Amalia is being taught that we might find the occasional bit where some other culture stumbles on the Good, the True, and the Beautiful (even the Englisch), but it is only in Western Latin Civilization that one finds these things as a matter of course.
And, obviously, as a matter of Christian charity, we must bring this high form of civilization to the rest of the world. Wouldn't want the poor savages dancing around with bones in their noses, saying "uff da" and driving on the wrong side of the road, when we could have shown them a better way!
I took this multi-culti crap seriously for a few years, but saw that it was a dead-end.
Romanitas all the way!
