Multi-culturalism Does Not Work

No doubt I will get some complaints from this post as being either racist or xenophobic, but still, I strongly stand by this belief, and that is, multiculturalism in Britain simply does not work. It never has worked in the UK, and quite frankly, it never will work within the Great British Isles.

Believe me, it is quite upsetting to admit this fact, but the conclusion is staring everyone in the face…that people from other nationalities/cultures can not establish co-operation and collaboration within one singular country, especially a country as small as the UK.

When we think about it, the poor state of our immigration laws have demonstrated this significantly. The more migrants that arrive here each day, the more angered the British majority seems to become, because truthfully, we know that 2 conflicting cultural backgrounds will never see eye to eye within society. It’s common sense to state that a foreign migrant (with cultural values of an Arabic country for example) will never except the British way of life, as it is natural for one to hold onto his/her traditions from their native country. The problem with this however, is that holding onto such values gives rise to isolation within society (with a perfect example of this being muslim women covered head to toe in black cloaks). The British public (whether psychologically or deliberately) will never accept this religious dress code as part of their way of life, and as a result, such women become isolated within society, only understood by those of the same religious backgrounds as them, and hence, leading to numerous cultures themselves isolated from what the British public deem normal.

This idea can also be seen on an international scale. Some may differ in their opinions to this, but overall, we can all accept that in general, the world simply does not get along. The chances are, France will always have a grudge against England, the Middle-East will always hate America, and Germany will never be forgiven (by most in Europe) for the genocide of World War II. And with that in mind, if populations on a scale such as this can not see eye to eye, how can we expect people within one, miniscule country to co-operate with all these cultural tensions and revulsions?

It was a nice thought, an idealistic dream if you will, but the conclusion is final and will always remain the same. Our differences will always outweigh the similarities we have with other nations and cultures, and consequently, Britain is doomed to hostility if multiculturalism ceases to exist.

Its even worse than that.

Multiculturalism actually supports the belief that all cultures are equal.

Whilst any reasonable person could hold the belief that all individuals are entitled to their own cultural norms, the idea that they are all equal is obviously complete bollocks.

To give one simple example, the Christmas edition of The Economist had an article about Pustunwali culture in Pakistan / Afghanistan. Among their delightful traditions, are the payment of young girls, to those who they have wronged.

How can anyone claim that this culture is equal to mine?

I want to live in a tolerant society, not one where I am not able to celebrate my own culture.

What, exactly, is your point, Mr Skinner? You have presented no evidence to support your premise. What, precisely, is your personal experience of multiculturalism and how has it impacted upon you in a negative sense? Why are you scared of people who are different to you? You must feel very small inside and I'm honestly sorry for you.

As for Serf, are you trying to suggest that Pustunwali culture might be forced upon us if we embrace multiculturalism? Please!

If you actually want to live in a tolerant society, be brave and try to enjoy other human beings and their differences. Free your mind of these petty fears, you'll be much happier for it.

I respect your point martin, but truthfully, the point i am making is that people from differing nationalities and cultures will never be able to get along within society, because this only leads to isolation of religions and native groups as we have seen in Britain today (ghetto-isation i believe it is called). We can never co-operate as you say, we are just too different, and unfortunately, we always will be.

Any culture that considers itself equal is gravely mistaken in my opinion.

Roll on the next Civil War.

That'll be fun...

We don't even have enough troops/police to deal with the current situation.

What evidence would you like Mr Davies? Some cultures are so repulsive that no one but their own could live positively beside them.
Brits, Hindu's, Sikh's and Afro Carribeans dont demand the head of people for publishing cartoons, quoting a Byzantine Emperor, (who's City had just been sacked incidentally)or demand the host nation gives them preferential treatment......or else.
If this culture was enlightened, advanced and brought great benefits to Mankind, some may be swayed, but if this culture had failed in the land of its birth plunged its own people into misery, poverty and lack of education and was engaged in wars around the globe with those refusing to submit to it, would it be reasonable to say it impacted negatively on those around it?
