I can remember a time not so long past when the "name of the game" with regards to immigration was integration.
Multiculturalism seems the complete opposite, I would also posit that the idea of multiculturalism was to hide the fact that integration was impossible given the explosive level of immigration which has followed the introduction of the word. Whole enclaves of European countries have become completely separate from the state with regard to social norms, given the need for social interaction with the main proponent of this (the greatest migration in European history) those of a middle Eastern background.
How much of a blunder was it?
Dare we take a few steps further into the future that goes in toe with a multiculturalist society before we start to see a cultural relativistic ways of thinking used when approaching the different proponents that make up our society, we need not.
It is already happening, the most recent example being the allowing of the segregation of men and women in English Universities in accordance with respecting religious freedom. I even remember earlier in the year seeing Lawerence Krauss threaten to walk out of a debate in a UK University unless they stopped the segregation. It has been practiced for quite some time.
What will happen next?
If we can segregate people based on biological differences in public places is this not an apartheid?
Is every step in toe with multiculturalism a step in towards a completely apartheid state?
Multiculturalism, as a policy is in a way, shooting your own foot.
A country needs social stability. This is archived by promoting a common language and common culture for its inhabitants, even if ethnically, the country has a lot of minorities, the minorities must conform to the culture of the majority in order to establish harmony.
So multiculturalism should not be the policy of any NATION STATE. But those who are not NATION STATES, like Switzerland, multiculturalism is applicable, when you divide the country into confederate states in which the minorities have access to their own press, language and culture without coming into too much contact with others for friction to arise. But if you try to establish multiculturalism in an etnically heterogenous area, you will most certainly fail.
Besides, multiculturalism does not add anything of significance to social progress, nor to the culture of a country. Especially for NATION STATES of the old world, which have their own culture and customs, this is impossible and prone to lead to more friction.
