Exactly, GZ, and well said. I completely agree with you, most wholeheartedly, on all points.

I also deeply resent being accused of racism for not enjoying diversity and multiculturalism.

There is value in all cultures, but that value is ruined and destroyed when it is mixed.

The best way I know to describe my view is this... My wife and I love our best friends and we enjoy their company, but we don't want to live with any of them! LOL. We enjoy visiting them, and having them visit us, but, as great as they all are, we wouldn't want to live with them for life or every blessed day! LOL.

The same is true of my dear sister and her family. We love them, but we don't want to live with them every day! LOL.

With multiculturalism, it's basically the same concept. If I want to enjoy the African culture, I would visit Africa. If I want to enjoy the Mexican culture, I would visit Mexico. The operative word there is visit... like I visit with my friends! I visit and then I return home to familiar surroundings where I live my own life, which I share with one other person; my wife.

Multiculturalism takes Africa, Mexico, Islam, homosexuality, and other foreign cultures and forces it into our faces at gunpoint. I don't enjoy it or appreciate it at all, any more than I would enjoy a trusted friend or beloved relative moving in with me forever. So, no, it's not "racism", it's just a desire to live in normal, familiar surroundings with kindred people who are generally like me and generally share my views, customs, beliefs, values, heritage, etc. -ng-
