Are you a "multiculturalist?"

[Rev. Rye]

Short answer, yes. Longer answer, I take in parts from various cultures that fit my life and disregard the parts that don't. There are some things in any culture that should not be accepted, at least from my point of view.

Exactly. The key to being multiculturalist is to find a balance. Knowing that two different cultures have interesting and potentially equally valid points of view, but knowing that sometimes, aspects of some cultures should just die.

For instance: I can understand both sides of the circumcision debate (especially given that, according to most studies, the long-term effects (good and bad) are, in fact negligible.) But, whether pro- or anti-circumcision, I think we can all agree that having a rabbi lick the blood off is a bad idea and should be stopped. That shit can't be kosher.
