There is always some kind of underlying issue when it comes to failures of diversity, usually revolving around power. Bosnia tore itself apart mainly because the Serbs had an unfair political advantage there for a long time, and refused to give it up. Diversity and cultural change are a part of history, too. People move where they can, and change things how they please. We should moderate these things for optimum happiness and a smooth transition, but trying to really fight it would show an ignorance of history and of humanity

Multiculturalism is what America is all about. So I would say no.

What's funny is that your experience seems to contradict everything I've ever read about Japan, including other people's experiences.

I assume you didn't watch Borat? =)

Multiculturalism works if the citizens of the other countries are willing to give up their past and swear allegience to their new land. The problem is that many, and I mean MANY do not do that.

For example, in America....Most people of Mexican origin still have very strong ties and show favoritism to their home country. They show off flags, attend rallies, and do many things to promote their old land...How does that help America today? I don't think it does. Other people groups have acclaimated much better to America, and we're better for it, I think.

Ultimately, its up to both the native born and immigrant to work together. Both can fail via xenophobia and a lack of regard for your new country. You can succeed too - look at Europeans and Asians in America.

One interesting observation: Is it me, or does it seem that a people group's success in a country is determined by their resolve to acclaimate to their new land? In America, it seems that the less you hold on to your homeland, the better off you are here.

Visit Canada lol.

I say its all about the language. Ne immagrent need to talk to everyone and everyone needs to talk to new immagrent.

If a contry can make that happen there is no problem.

Your gonna use a comedy for your argument?  A comedy that tries to incite racism?

Multiculturalism can work but only if steps are taken to build and promote communities. Britain is a good example of society where this has been succesful to certain extent. However there are still to many enclaves of Immigrants who refuse to assimilate , respect or work within those communities and are generally very militiant and negative towards their new country, which pisses me off (and im not even British)

Multiculturalism is fine but it should contain elements of assimilation, and teach the newcomers values and traditions of their new home. Not other way around which is heavily promoted by certain groups and the media.

Im not fond of it because im racist.
