Hi Platt --
I give up trying to discuss this sensibly with people.who've been
brainwashed to regard opposition to multiculturalism as "xenophobia" or
"embarrassingly stupid".
But in the unlikely event that there are others in this group who
understand, or are curious about, how this collectivist ideology denegrates
sovereign values, they will appreciate an essay by David Kupelian entitled
"Multicultural Madness". Ironically, children of naturalized parents are
often the most passionate writers on this issue. (Kupelian's father was a
Greek- Armenian who escaped Turkish genocide by becoming a U.S. citizen.)
The following excerpt captures the essence of this article:
"How exactly did the United States of America 'become the scene of one of
the most hideously bedeviled conflicts of all time?' asked New York
University literature professor Carol Iannone in the New York Press.
"Quite simply, it happened because America lost its grasp of its own
historic character, and embraced 'diversity' as a national goal. In the
name of equality and nondiscrimination we invited mass immigration from
every part of the globe, and made no demands on the newcomers to become
Americans. In fact, we gave up our American core, adopted multiculturalism
and declared all cultures equal. We invited the new groups to celebrate
themselves while we cravenly permitted libelous denigration of our own past.
Like fools we prated that diversity is our strength, when common sense and
all of history tell us that strength comes from unity.
"Absolute nondiscrimination meant we no longer enforced standards, made
judgments, distinguished between good and evil, friend and foe. We grew
lazy, stupid and careless - about our borders, about national security, even
about previous terrorist attacks against us. We worried over our 'hate
crimes' and our 'racial profiling,' while men resided in our midst who
seethed with murderous fury even against our children and plotted our
destruction. Now we have a fifth column, fear further assaults and labor
under a draconian security regime that is changing the nature of our lives.
...
"It's easy to blame '60s radicals, university Marxists, cowardly politicians
and an elitist press for today's multicultural madness. But the fact is,
millions of Americans have bought into it. Why?
"Isn't it obvious? Since the 1960s, America - from her government to her
schools and even to her churches - has steadily fallen away from the
Judeo-Christian values that previously illuminated and gave life and
strength to the nation's institutions. This is equivalent to turning out
the country's lights: And when you turn out the lights, everything looks the
same color in the dark - that's multiculturalism.
