Multiculturalism and cultural relativism are hideously racist concepts that I wash my hands of entirely. According to this lot, it's great to criticise oppression, injustice and cruelty... as long as the perpetrator is white. As soon as it's brown people involved, "oppression" suddenly becomes "culture", so the human atrocities get a free pass.
Multiculturalism is a human zoo. It's not about "respecting culture", it's about jacking off over "diversity" and insisting that minority groups remain different, so they can be "exotic people" put on display for others to enjoy.
Cultural relativism holds anyone who isn't Western to a lower standard of behaviour and rights. It takes away their accountability for their own actions and basically says "we expect no better from you, so we just shrug and accept it. Oh and, yeah, fuck your rights, those are for us" (white people). It's disgustingly patronising.

"Ironically like the nativist far-Right, which despises multiculturalism, but benefits from its ideas of difference to scapegoat the other and to promote its own white identity politics; these postmodernists, leftists, feminists and liberals also use multiculturalism, to side with the oppressor, by demanding respect and tolerance for oppression characterised as 'difference', no matter how intolerable." - Maryam Namazie
