I think what strikes me as odd in all this is that those of us said to be "multiculturalists" in this country are really "melting pot" types. We want all races, creeds, religions, etc. to work together and live together under a shared set of values based on democracy, responsibility, and reason...
In contrast, those most outspoken against "multiculturalism" seem to be multiculturalists themselves... though probably more uniculturalists... desiring continuous segregation, divide, and animosity for every group in the population, touting how their "culture" should battle to control institutions and restore its privilege, and in short tearing the country apart.
The vocabulary has been wrong all along.
Culture Warriors are the real multiculturalists.
