The fact remains that the myth of "multiculturalism" is as dangerous as the myth of the "Aryan Race" created by the bad boy of the 20th century Mr. Hitler. >>> All right, John let me spell it out for you...Not enough guts?..Afflicted by Political correctness? The biggest myth is that "American" means "American"...Whites and African Americans (and to some overshadowed extent others) have very little in common ...less, far less than Kosovars and Serbs or Croats... As usual uniting factor is prosperity....Not legal system or constitution...(both will crumble fairly quickly and violently, when prosperity is removed...The myth propagated from Washington is laughed at by both Whites and Blacks alike....(except Neocons)....What would happen when Majority Ruling Minority will become Ruling Minority? I let you guess..But it won't last nearly as long as Rome, that is a given.. PS There is no shortage of guns in US, is it?

The fact remains that the myth of "multiculturalism" is as dangerous as the myth of the "Aryan Race" ... I don't see where you have presented any reason for that assumption. I can't believe that you mean what you say. "multiculturalism" is the hallmark of Communism. To the contrary, "multiculturalism" is impossible in any formatted society. Here, like before, it becomes clear that you use another concept of "multiculturality" for refuting and bad-reputing it, than I do for endorsing it. Multiculturalism is a weak form of anarchy that is assumed to be compatible with democratic libertine societies. It means that one can be what one is without having to explain why, and that one can choose to associate on a cultural grounds (or choose to not do it). There are of course limits to this freedom, when the cultural association totally breaks out of the boundries of what can be accepted in a society of equals. Where exactly the limits of freedom should be seems to be a process of finding the best compromise. why did they destroy the 100 Native American nations that exsisted (sic!) in North America? Answer me that boys!!! It is not my task to destroy American myths. I wish to remark however, that I did not say that America a) IS the ideal multicultural society b) WAS the ideal multicultural society during the time span you refer to c) WAS NOT governed BY Europeans in the war/extinction efforts against Native Americans. You however went with the absurd statement that Communist/Socialist regimes of Eastern Europe and whatnot where multicultural, while in reality their foremost goal usually was to confine and control people's behaviour and minds and not allow for individual differences of opinion - or culture. I have given an example of a state where even minimal cultural differences were not allowed to enter the public mind. Should I go on and explain how Vietnamese, Cuban Gastarbeiters were treated in the GDR (confined in barracks) or Russian soldiers (confined in barracks) ? MNI.

John, I think I have eventually zeroed in on your subconscious phobia about "multiculturalism": you've been traumatized by the 4-sequel movie Planet of the Apes, haven't you?? Here's a (painful?) reminder: movieprop.com and movieprop.com After all, the movie was such a mindblower for leading role Charleton Heston() himself that the guy signed up as the NRA mouthpiece soon after! Obviously, the movie's subliminal message sums up pretty well your ethnic-conscious fears: beware American WASPs! If you loosen your grip on the American fabric, you'll soon get ruled by chimps, gorillas, and orang-outans! Well, we all know that there's only a 1% genetic gap between human (homo sapiens) DNA and the apes's, so why such a fuss about being ruled by our genetic cousins??!? Gus aka Cornelius. () qnet.com
