It's precisely because the US has built up a (multiracial) monoculture that it's impervious to the kind of internecine cultural strifes that roil Europe... However, such a monolithic state of cultural affairs is being challenged by Hispanic immigration and the prospect of turning the US monoculture into a "biculture"....

Interesting. First time I've heard that "internecine cultural strife" is a good thing. You Europeans teach us colonials so many new things........its hard not to get too excited, wetting our pants in the process. ;~)

Just because the European nexus of 25 different cultures is conflictual and fraught with warfare doesn't mean that Europe is not multicultural!!!

I never said Europe is not multicultural. All I said is that Europe is behind the US in terms of racial relations.

Actually, the obverse is true: if, like the US, the European white monolith were an uneventful bliss THEN you'd be correct to construe it as a "white monoculture". As for my claim that Europe --as a multicultural white monolith-- is way ahead of the US, just imagine for a moment that the 50 states that make up the United States of America were to each other like the 25 European states are to each other... get the picture? The 50 united states of America would have 50 different languages, 50 different histories, 50 different traditions, 50 different peoples! That's what multiculturalism is all about.

I agree.
