MultiCulturalism

According to the Institute for Historical Review. "For many non-whites, however, multicultural history is merely a step on the way to .....Their goal is separation rather than inclusion.” “It is impossible to write a single American history that satisfies, white, black, Indian, hispanic, and Asian.” I disagree with these statements because there is a way to have a book, it would have to be a really huge book though! I believe the point of going to college is to explain these different histories. It would take too much time to teach in school. Think about it. You only get a certain amount of time to teach in the high school.

First, “Why Multiculturalism is Wrong” is a title I disagree with entirely. For my generation, we have traveled to and lived in various places around the world and learned to immerse into other cultures. When we learn two opposing cultures, we can form a third “middle” culture as a result and learn how to communicate both cultures to each other. We act as a sort of cultural bridge for others to understand each other. This is multiculturalism in practice. I wanted to ask if the author of this article had anything to say about the United States’ view of multiculturalism. I noticed in the article how he talks about European nations and their multiculturalist views and not ours.

“Pithissippi Burning: Race, White Nationalism and American Culture” revealed to me how pleased I was to know about how much bigger multicultural television entertainment is getting. I think it is sad that many white supremacists believe in monoculturalism and scared of the changes that were evidenced in the grey box of the article, such as Dora the Explorer being of Spanish decent and Tiger Woods breaking the race barrier in golf. I say this because this nation was founded where all men and women were supposed to be equal in the pursuit of life, liberty, and happiness.  One would think that when more people got comfortable with each other, despite their differences, multiculturalism would automatically expand due to people learning from and influencing each other. But when people choose to be with only people of a like mindset and physical trait, monoculturalism will always have a chance to exist.
