I live in London. My dad is the least multicultural person I know, and he's a scots/Irish mix

Living in the UK with our traditions of... St George (Armenian), Fish n Chips (Portuguese), Curries (India),...

Our landscape, our names, our place-names all sculpted by Romans, Saxons,Vikings, Normans... Our culture, we supposedly need to stop "them" corrupting, owes more to "them" than to "us". Whoever "us" is...

@Mahdkvp direct descent of Hengist & Horsa.

They led the 5th century invasion of Britain by the Saxons. The first battle was fought on a site I once worked in we called that bit of the site Bloody Point.

I have to believe it was what God intended.

No, you need an overal common culture. Or at least dealing with different ones makes things more complex.

@dondon No. Being a bigot means you're weak. Diversity means you're strong. It's economics. Not about culture. 🙂

@Zonuss Taking your statement forward, if you are everything to everyone are you anything at all?

E Pluribus Unum.
However the Unum is the important goal.
Assimilation and multiculturalism can go hand in hand.
The ‘National’ culture cannot take second place
