John & Arlo, IMHO part of the problem in your debate arises from not distinguishing between "diverse", "multi-cultural" & "open-minded" societies. A society can be culturally diverse when it has many sub-cultures, ranging from interacting to isolated. But a society can also be culturally diverse when there is only one (major) culture, if that culture is itself a "melting pot" of different cultures. Culturally open-minded societies are those which are willing to learn from & not oppress sub-cultures in their midst. Japan is an example of an open-minded society, but which is not multicultural in either of the first 2 senses. religion racial dmb
