Diversity and Multiculturalism II:Make Diversity Great Again

Postby San Lumen » Mon Feb 26, 2018 4:58 pm

I've seen and heard comments recently here and elsewhere regarding changing demographics and areas becoming more multicultural and diverse is a bad thing. That somehow it undermines the concept of a nation or is somehow destructive to the culture of the country or province or city. Having a multicultural nation or city contributes much to a society.

Some have even go so far as to allege there is some conspiracy involved which is complete nonsense.

I fail to see how multiculturalism and diversity is a bad thing. Go to any major city and you find people from all backgrounds and different ethnic groups. Why is that a bad thing? My city and our neighboring city is one of the most diverse and multicultural in the world. Being diverse and multicultural has contributed a great deal to our culture and history. I love walking down the street and hearing other languages and seeing people from many different backgrounds and countries.

If someone comes to your country legally either as an immigrant or a refugee seeking a better life and opportunity why is that bad. In addition said person gets a work visa and a job and later becomes a citizen, why is that not a good thing?

Furthermore everyone is a descendent of immigrants in some way no matter how far back you go. Unless you are from certain areas in Asia or the Middle East or Africa you are technically an immigrant.

What's your thoughts NSG? And is it Good or Bad?

The first part

Alright I underlined a part that I found somewhat questionable what exactly do you mean by that?

What diversity? There wont be none in time thats the point diverse societies are only temporary eventually a mixed monoculture dominates like in Brazil or the Dominican Republic or the minority dominates like what will happen in the West decades from now.

Depends on what you mean. Diversity ain’t good or bad inherently. Multiculturalism can be great if there’s a uniting national identity and there’s a good deal of intermingling between cultural groups. Segregation, self imposed or imposed on others, is the enemy here.

I mean if you have two groups that both want each other to "fuck off" from each others area without making it a law I can't exactly see it as a negative. Especially if the groups historically hate each other's guts, and any other method might cause violence.

You can go to prison in any country for going to lengths to "offend" someone. Such as assault

Wouldn't that be battery? At least as I understand assault is the intent, and battery is the action of said intent, but I could be wrong.

Well, changing demographics can undermine a country or even an entire ethnic/race group the more dramatic the change in demographics occur. There is also the concern of political power and with the ~90% of African-Americans and even Hispanics too, voting only Democrats in US where I live. However, I will just admit instead that is more about ideology than race. The consequences of changing demographics aren't even always strictly driven from racial/ethnic/culture by itself either.

i cannot find in the article where it says that, what i can find is this; Taking the projection to a more uncertain distance, the White British population would cease to be the majority in the UK by the late 2060s.

Secondly, the mail? really? like. the daily mail? do you know how many times they have to correct their own articles because they are forced too by journalism standards companies for blatantly lying?
