Of course not. Jesus was a white European man, and all his friends had nice European names like Mark and Luke.

But sure...they can wear funny hats....as long as they don't cover their faces for the photo at the DMV.
I think that covers it. Simple, common-sense approach.
Only two things are infinite, the universe and human stupidity, and I'm not sure about the former.

Everybody is multiculturalist. Some people believe they aren't. But, cultures mingle, mix and evolve all the time, and none existing today are pure of external influence.
Perhaps the better question is, are you a cultural chauvinist?

I agree with the sentiment.
I'm happy to welcome anyone into my country (except it's not my country, or my decision) of any description. But they need to live by our laws. It's not acceptable to create their own sub-communities and run them with their own ideas of what laws should be. We wouldn't allow anyone else to do so.
Other than that, they can do what they like as long as they're not hurting anyone. I find the whole idea of cultures pretty meaningless personally, but I don't want to stop anyone doing what makes them happy, within reason.
