A Mexican Perspective on Paris
I thought the entire article was interesting. In particular, his closing remarks.
"Considering Europe’s crises, it should be clear to Americans that multiculturalism will lead to a weak and divided nation. Furthermore, most Latin American immigrants represent a valuable resource of moral and ethical persons, and the U.S. should not cast them aside."
I'm not quite sure what he meant by multiculturalism, as it tends to be a loaded word. America is multicultural and it is one of our greatest strengths. Integration of all cultures into the capitalist brouhaha is necessary but forced and complete assimilation will destroy us.
Our society is obsessed with "tolerance". If that is the most we dare to strive for - we've already lost.
