Re: Controversial Opinions (Non-Fandom)

[(Anonymous)]

I see you have an opinion based on a narrow view of your own personal experiences.

Does this happen? Yes. Does it happen every time any culture enters another and fails to assimilate? Hell to the no. Your experiences have not been wide enough to make a blanket statement like "multiculturalism has failed." There are two issues at hand: one, a stranger in a strange land has a need to cling to the familiar when faced with so much unfamiliarity, so yes, naturally, small communities or cliques form; and two, the prevailing attitude of any society is, "no, YOU blend in with US" and the concept of a multi-culture is squashed by the dominant culture that doesn't want another culture adding flavor to their own. Either way, the subculture never wins. So they have two choices: completely assimilate and give up everything about their culture, or become a separate community within the larger community.

I don't think this means multiculturalism doesn't work. I think it means we as a human species need to work a fuckton harder on shedding our instinctual need for tribalism and a Them against which we can pit Us as superior. It's not like it can never happen; there were times in history when, e.g. Japan assimilated outside culture rather than assert themselves as superior. It can be done. It's just hard to see when your entire viewpoint is colored by only ever seeing examples of distinct segregation rather than mixing.

It's especially extraordinary when people make the argument that assimilation is impossible and point to a culture that is actively in the process of assimilating

Assimilation has not happened yet and therefore it will never happen, sayeth the wise man
