Mister Agenda's posts @me
.. and the flock rushing in to back him up with one-liners show that multiculturalism has acquired the status of sacred belief among devotees,
.. with lists of precepts that aren't questioned,
.. that represent an absolute right which may as well have descended on stone tablets from the supreme being
Dramatic much?

Social parity is certainly desirable if only for reasons of domestic tranquility and I support it. Whether the current political allocation will achieve it, keeping the restless grievance groups contented, is another question. Despite all our PC, America is more unequal now than it's ever been since 1925, if income and housing security are taken as the measures.
