I call it fake because real multiculturalism requires nihilism, beliving in nothing. Or believing in everything, which is just as bad since doing so assumes that the conflict between the values pushed by various cultures can somehow be reconciled or noted as neutral, which is an insane notion. Not all cultures hold preeminent the sanctity of life, democracy, freedom of expression, gender equality, freedom of religion, etc., as core values. The multiculturalists would have you think that cultures that don't hold these values as important are as equal as those that do. It's ironic that the mulitculturalists are centered in advanced Western societies, where tolerance and freedom reign. Wonder how many exist in Saudi Arabia, N.Korea, etc.?

I don't know anyone who really thinks as highly of other people's values as they do their own, and I don't believe I've ever met anyone who even says they do. I know people who try to be tolerant, but that is not the same thing, and I think you may be confusing the two things. You hold up as examples a specimen of human life I have never met- I have to be skeptical, since I have met many human life forms in the US and around the world. You can call it anything you want, Nadine, but it doesn't make it true.
