Is multiculturalism a bad thing for Europe?

[EgoRaptor]

I live in one of the most multicultural areas of London and I love it. The only group who seem to segregate themselves are the Jews, but I suspect that is a class thing because this is a mostly working class area and the few local Jews are all at least middle class and probably don't want to mix with us working class people . Lol

I love that there are so many different types of people round here. You can walk down the street and hear 20+ different languages being spoken. We have an annual festival celebrating the mix of cultures, with food, dance and music and stuff. I have been to towns that aren't multicultural and they're so fucking boring and all the people are the bloody same. I could never live like that!

You are assuming all cultures are somehow equal. What about Moslem culture, where women are considered less than a man?

Condell does call the motherfuckers out, doesn't he?

Let me hazard a guess, Chrichton - BNP?

At what point did I assume all cultures are equal? What does that even mean?

I don't have a clue what "Moslem" culture is, but if it considers women to be less than a man, then it should fit in reasonably well with British culture.

And please, oh please, don't post that video if you wish to be taken seriously by anyone! lol

Multiculturalism has worked well in Australia. In the years since WW2 several ethnic groupings have come here and become part of the cultural landscape.
And their contributions in cuisine, fashions, ideas and language have combined to make Australia a far greater country than it would have otherwise been.
It is only when a group comes in and refuses to mesh with the rest of the community and then start demanding respect which they refuse to give to others that problems arise.

Why, it is certainly better argued than anything you've said about multiculturalism.

Also, Britian places a huge value on gender equality. You are another lefty cultural-masochist who hates your own culture & then assists with the Mohammedan immigrant invasion of the West.

This "street" you describe could be anywhere in Europe, surely this constitutes "boring" when every European city has what you described as their model?

Also boring is "relative", for example; If I go to any other European city it is to indulge myself in it's culture. I enjoy and respect every culture, including my own. You enjoy and respect every culture but your own. SHAME ON YOU !!
We come from one of the most technologically advanced liberal civilizations mankind has every had.

This "too lazy to travel" attitude you have would dilute anything that makes European countries unique from one another into obscurity. If you truly liked and respected the not so idiosyncratic traits that make cultures different, (as you claim) you would be entirely against this.

OHH I forgot, your only want the cultures you find "boring" to be "enriched". I realise this will just anger you, and, I don't know why I even mention what I have as you would not entertain any idea that runs contrary to your own.

So I will finish with this;

I think you are an self loathing, untraveled, uncultured and angry person whom revels in the chance to proselytise what you believe when challenged and just waits for his turn to speak rather than having an intellectually honest discussion.
