The Multicultural Trap

Anne Leary's "Red Skirt" column at Boomer Girl always knocks me out. In the afterstench of yesterday's marches by illegal immigrants, Anne's column from February has current freshness. She writes a good piece about the dangers of embracing multiculturalism. I like to say, "Diversity yes, multiculturalism never." Here's a column guaranteed to make liberals pull their hair out.

So, liberals, do you think all cultures are equal? (Except Western of course. Oh, and as far as religion goes Christianity and maybe now Judaism are to be scorned as ignorant and oppressive, or even feared. The others are exotically diverse, kind of like an imported objet d'art)

So what do you think about this?

Do we accord a culture that allows genital mutilation the same respect as one that views women as equal members of society? Do we allow this kind of culture to override our own laws?

This is the trap of multiculturalism. FULL COLUMN at boomergirl.com...
