Well, if you grow up in a really diverse area it feels weird to be in a really white place. It’s all what you’re used to. If you’re looking for trouble with having other cultures, you’ll find it.

I grew up in a small town in the northeast. There wasn't much diversity there most were whites racially. Rarely heard foreign languages or different cultural practices and foods. I didn't find it boring at all because you felt at home with people whom you shared common interests, a culture and language. It was the same when I moved to So. Calif. back in the early 60's. It was more diversified but not swamped with it as we are today. Much of this I attribute to the 1965 Immigration Act and illegal immigration. We are losing our identity as a nation. We've become a mutt nation with no commonality or unification. I think that's why we have become so divided politically to.
Skin color/race is irrelevant in all of this it's about a common culture and language.
If multiculturalism was a benefit, it would happen organically. As it is, it's being shoved down peoples' throats.
Has anyone benefitted personally from multiculturalism?
I have to say that it's hard to begin to understand the depth of ignorance at the root of these comments, especially in the America of the twenty-first century.
Ever listen to rock music, derived mainly from the music and rhythms brought to our continent by enslaved Africans, with an admixture of music from mostly rural whites in the south, Latin rhythms, and a smattering of every other musical tradition?
Did you eat this week? Was it pizza, or maybe spaghetti (whether invented in Italy or China), tacos, Chinese takeout, or maybe Polish sausage with sauerkraut?
After dinner did you happen to watch a baseball game, with players from the United States, Venezuela, the Dominican Republic, Cuba, Mexico, Panama, and Japan?
I could go on, but I don't think I need to. Everyone reading this has benefitted from the contributions to our culture of people from other cultures.
You know what the word for that is? Multiculturalism.

Enjoying different music, foods and sports is not what this is about. It's about a foreign culture depleting our identifying one via illegal immigration and too much legal immigration like in 1965 who's cultures and languages are not our identifying ones. We are no longer a melting pot but a salad bowl of non-assimilating immigrants who don't even want to speak English in public or not even learn it.
We are not a multi-cultural country per se. We have identifying one with minority cultures living among us.
Multiculturalism and diversity has been detrimental and damaging to white societies and countries. And citizens of these countries did not vote for or desire this. It was forced on them and has caused friction and conflict.
Eastern euro countries aren’t as diverse for a variety of reasons. One being that they secure their borders and enforce their immigration laws while not taking in millions of refugees from 3rd world countries.
Homogenous countries don’t spend $8 annually on diversity training (U.S.). Perhaps diversity would be better suited in 3rd world countries if that’s what the citizens of those countries desired. Integration or segregation shouldn’t be forced. Doing so is wrong and damaging.
If the elites of hyper capitalist and those moderately socialist nations that rely on the former want it, there’s nothing that can be done.
Human beings have only two answers to maintaining itself; capitalism and socialism. Both of which do not support the health and/or desirability of procreating. Half assed bandaid being immigration.
Pro growth and homogeneity in the long term is impossible. Though the time frames are getting shorter and shorter for this rule.

?? You can’t find common interests with people who don’t share your culture? It’s actually not that hard. But again, I grew up in a place which was heavily diverse.

Not when they won't or don't even speak English and that's what we are getting with this massive illegal immigration mess. I have nothing in common with illegal aliens or their culture and they didn't even respect our immigration laws.
I thought it was heavenly as a young person to be able to relate linguistically and culturally to those around me. Sorry that you don't agree or understand why. If I want to experience foreign cultures or languages I can always visit their countries. I don't need it in my backyard 24/7 especially from those here illegally.
