'Multicultural' means anti-American

ANother leftist crock of poop to gain control over the population. Orwellian BS.

[F-117A]

Bumpski!

Is that multi-cultural enough for the PC crowd?

[Hoosier-Daddy]

It is amazing what the West has achieved in the last 500 years as opposed to any other culture on Earth. Multi-culturalism is an attempt by the Left to explain the failings of the Left, ultimately. It’s the “Well yeah, the US did well but considering blah,blah,blah, we would have done just as well (ignore our starvation of the Ukrainians), blah,blah,blah”.

The multi cultural agenda it all about destroying America as well as the West in general.

[Colorado Buckeye]

Bump!

[papertyger]

Multi-culturalism is an exercise in Bergeronian equality as described by Kurt Vonnegut.

Multiculturalism

Anti-freedom, anti-individual, anti-life multicollectivist gangs of "progressives" at work. Peddle that nonsense in Mecca.

[Burma Jones]

It’s always funny when a multiculti or other leftist starts blathering about how “advanced” some non-Western culture was because its inhabitants could throw up the equivalent of Stonehenge as arranged by a drunk half-wit, and it never occurs to them that at the same time, “backwards” Western Civilization had to settle for, say, Chartres Cathedral.

Primitive finger painting art=good. Titian=bad.

"...blathering about how “advanced” some non-Western culture was..."

Yeah. Ha ha. I just can't believe those barbarians could find a pot to piss in.

The drunks that put his up must have sobered up for a bit - the damned thing's still standing! Of course I realize it's not as spiffy new as your cathedral, so it's a little worn, but I guess that's what an additional 3000 years will do.

Get with the program. No culture except western culture has ever done anything worthwhile.

[Burma Jones]

Come on, Stormer. I didn’t say non-Western cultures never built anything (Great Wall, Pyramids, etc.). The point is that we put up with a lot of “everybody-gets-a-trophy”-type cultural/architectural equivalence just to help leftists feel that the third world is not only morally superior to, but at least as advanced as, the West.

[stormer]

“No culture except western culture has ever done anything worthwhile.”

You’re probably right. I mean, after all, just where would be without Paris Hilton, NASCAR, and Wheel of Fortune?

[durasell]

I don’t believe in multiculturalism in the U.S. I believe it’s a single culture, regardless of what others may think. Pizza, at one time, was exotic. Sushi is becoming commonplace.

[stormer]

Hey, I’m a proud exponent of Western culture, and I’m damned glad I am. But I have also been some pretty weird places where having a white face or a round eye is enough to draw a crowd. And from what I can tell, there are a lot of pretty smart people out there that we could learn a thing or two from.

[stormer]

Times, they are a changin’. I live in a major port city on the west coast, so there’s a pretty significant Asian influence here (think Ichiro). If you asked the 14 year old kid that lives next door what he wanted to go out to eat, he’d say sushi (I think he’s nuts). I love Indian food myself, but up until a few years ago you really had to search to find a good Indian restaurant, now they’re all over the place.

I remember taking one anthropology class in college where the professor tried to make the claim that all the world's cultures more or less developed along equal lines. I don't believe that even the densest student in the class really believed her. I recall the anthro classes focused on primitive cultures. I don't think it was too hard for the average student to see that beating clothes with a rock to clean them was not on a par with throwing them in a washing machine.

Which brings up my other gripe with anthropology. Almost all the professors in that field bemoan the loss of primitive cultures to modern methods. To which I say at one point everyone lived in a primitive culture until overtaken by some bigger, usually crueler culture. I don't regret that my ancestors were conquered by the Romans. Me and my ancestors after the initial subjugation are pretty darn glad the Romans came in. So why should it be bad for today's primitive cultures to go modern? The answer: it isn't bad...it's good.
