Actually multicultural understanding places emphasis on the whole instead of the individual. That is why people are classifed as being "white", "Black", "asian", "latino", etc. instead of "John Small", "Luther Johnson", "Kim Lee", etc.
Wow, Rorschach, you sound like a Fear Factory CD. But you have bells of truth ringing. I fear for the future where we try to be so... "one".. that we lose our Borders, Language and Culture.

Diversity increases intercultural awareness. That, not a bunch of bombs, is what's going to finally end this "war" on "terror".

theapportioner, I am going to be quite serious with you for a moment. I am not going to say anything smart-eleck or boastful or anything like that. I am being 100% serious with you when I say this: That kind of attitude will lead to your death.
Let me elaborate in the time I have: The people who Western Civilization is against right now, the Muslim Fundmentalist, are interested in understanding us to the point where they can come about unseen and destroy us. They don't have a face or a state or a loyalty to anyone except for their god. They truly do not care if you came up to one living in your hometown right now and said "Yes, I do understand we are from different cultures, and we should talk about learn about each other." If he had the chance to do it without getting caught, you would be dead. Muslim fundementalist do not understand "multiculturalism", "understanding", "Tolerance", any of that. They understand one simple thing, that no matter how you attack it, is always going to be the same: You convert or you die. They do not have a third direction. There is no shades of gray to lead to a black and white here. The whole senario is black and white. Convert or die. You will praise Allah as your god or you die. There is no exceptions, no quarter given. They will kill us if they have the chance.
We are facing an enemy that does not care about your height, weight, eye color, skin tone, nose size, penis length, brest size, hair color, number of teeth, your college, your favorte metal band, your brand of car, your political affiliation. They care about one thing: Muslim or no. Muslim or infidel. Muslim or death.
I'm sorry if this is something that some people don't want to face, but burying your head in the sand will only make it easier for them to depacitate you.
