I am aware. That's what I was pointing to. I just may never understand the Old World and it's rampant battle to retain its culture.

It's not that hard to understand, people feel like they belong in the community and culture they are raised in. When a bunch of immigrants come in and society changes fast people start to fear for their future, the future of their culture, and the things they love about it.

I went to a very multicultural high school. It had four black kids. It was a pretty nice place, really, and everything seemed to work out fine there. :)

Multiculturalism is fine as long as immigrants learn the local language, which facilitates exchanges. Aside from that, as long as they're not doing anything illegal, everything should work out.

Delft is China. Clue in the name. And I'm pretty sure you guys didn't invent the first cheese either.



A black guy bringing gifts? No a WHITE guy whit his helpers being, yes black, but why you ask? He safed the poor in africa as Sint Nicolas was a holyman, one of these people, Pittir, joined Sint Nicolas and helped him , then more pittirs (hence piet) joined sint nicolas.

Our religion is not middle eastern, if you dont know the netherlands, wich i assume, then dont speak like you know it.

Hey, funny guy. Yes, you there. Disappointment: Christianity comes from (DRUMROLL) the Middle East! :eek:

That's a shocker ain't it!? My god! /sarcasm

Anyway, yes, multiculturalism is great. In fact, there are many traditions that needed to go away. Slavery, discrimination of blacks, racism, discrimination and persecution of LGBTA, and a whole lot more. I like multiculturalism, and I like not always having to eat only-Dutch foods. And also, this "OMG MULTICULTURALIZM" circlejerk is getting me really tired, and those who do participate in that circlejerk are actually those who make the immigrants more radical.

It's taking them a while to get with the program.

There are second and third generation Mexican immigrants who literally still view themselves as Mexican first, American second, yet they've never been to Mexico and can't speak Spanish.


And I have a friend who's literally generations removed from the soil of Scotland, and yet he still goes to caber-tossing events while wearing a kilt. That sort of thing can be annoying, but it's largely irrelevant, and the people are outliers.
