I – as someone who would be labeled conservative/nationalist (or rather racist) – quite not understand that delight in idea of multiculturalism. As someone who does not consider current political shifts enough to make conclusion due to not enough time that has passed I often turn to past for advice and example. I really have hard time finding any kind of multicultural (inclusive?) society that would work. Please, present any examples, especially from past because I can present you like 20 examples right away from all kinds of eras where it did not work.What gives me solace, as unfortunate as I have found some of the recent current events, is that the British Isles will continue its trend towards equality, racial and otherwise, in future. The severity and duration of the current blip remains to be seen. Nevertheless, a blip is all it is. I have had the good fortune to live and work around the world, on every continent save Antarctica, and I've seen no society more inclusive and accepting than ours. Within Europe only Ireland and Portugal, alongside Iceland and a few smaller nations, can claim like the UK to have zero seats held by nationalist/far-right parties.
So by all means, if you want to shout about the joys of living in a country where everyone looks exactly like you, go ahead. But I'll point out the irrationality of it. Take it to extremes, for example, and you end up shagging your siblings. And good luck with that... 11
I often ask myself, how do people like you imagine future. I would like to know, how do you see Britain in 50 years.
Second paragraph is straw man. Idea of living in country where everyone "looks exactly like me" is ridiculous. In Europe you have people with different skin tones (despite being caucasian), different hair color, eye colors, different physical attributes...so many variations that calling for "diversity" sounds almost ironic.
Saying, that if we take something into its extreme form is bad is no argument at all. That is simply true but it applies to everything, fresh water included. "Shaggin your siblings remark" is simply primitive remark not worth commenting...
The so called "multicultural" society works only so far as dominant (in this case european) culture is tolerant enough and non dominant is weak enough that it can not destroy dominant one. Everyone then pretends that everything is all right while experience (and criminal statistics) says it is not.
