Here, we agree. Multiculturalism, HAS been labeled evil here, and everywhere where people understand what it is really about. It is by and large about granting moral equivalence to all cultures and the actions of all cultures. In practice, it is about granting superior moral status to any non-Western culture, and its adherents are ususally the legion of those who hate the West, because it wrongfully killed a few people, or wrongfully broke a few treaties. These things are deplorable. But the difference between the West and these other lauded "multicultural' cultures is that the West has explicit ideology AGAINST these blips, and these other cultres, by and large, live by the vile, violent and evil things they do to themselves, each other, and when they get the chance, Westerners. Our blemishes are the exception--theirs are part of their culture and part of their cultural ideal. That's why you only have maybe 20 recycled and popularized such stories in American history, but can pick up any newspaper for at least 3 or more new atrocities by these other cultures every day. Precisely BECAUSE their morality is NOT based on the individual (or at least nt to the degree as it is in the West--it should be more so), but based on the group, tribe identity, ethnic group identity, violence as way of life, murder as acceptable or preferred means of resolving conflict, rigid social class, etc., etc.
Multiculturalism is horseshit. Other cultures should be studied to see what we can adopt from them to become more successful. And, for historical purposes, or diplomatic purposes. That's it.
