I agree, ethnicity seems a mute point though. However people can and do put their cultural and religious identities above that of the "core values" of the country, multiculturalism fans these flames and encourages divide.
You haven't said whether you are for multicultural societies or not ,if so, whether you disagree with any particular point. Your additions are welcome though.
