There is a lot right about a multi-cultural society...it's a lot more vibrent, it's more creative, there are more possibilities. There are also challanges in such a society.

Sometimes these challanges are reflected in poverty and crime. Plus, the origion of blacks in US society is rather tainted, which also complicates things. > > Japan's > > xenophobia is overwhelming.
