Multiculturalism is a situation in which all the different cultural or racial groups in a society have equal rights and opportunities, and none is ignored or regarded as unimportant.
: cultural pluralism or diversity (as within a society, an organization, or an educational institution) : a multicultural social state or a doctrine or policy that promotes or advocates such a state

The world is changing and globalisation means all sorts are going to live in Ireland. We can't have our cake and eat it, if we want at a booming multinational based economy we'll need low skilled workers from all over the world. Deal with it, life is too short to get your knickers in a twist over these things.

A lot of people assume that if you add culture B to culture A you get culture A again. That or they use the idea of multi culturalism to promote secularism in hospitals etc. Which isn’t the same thing. What’s likely to happen is that parts of society will have different morals, customs and conventions (and maybe laws) to the rest of us. Happening already. In Britain (in Birmingham) Muslim parents are protesting LGBT inclusive education. As is their right. I wonder what the op thinks.https://twitter.com/tomhfh/status/1103718078980997121

Indeed on average they tend to track higher in success than the indigenous population. Almost certainly down to a deep cultural influence.
Sand wrote: » You say that but no European politician dares hold a referendum on mass migration. Because as recently as 2017 55% of Europeans surveyed in 10 countries wanted a total ban on Muslim immigration. Indigenous peoples can obviously have a far more negative view on the matter to the migrants who are arriving. Your talk of 'net positives' is obviously wrong, but its also deceptive. The costs of mass migration are borne by the indigenous people, with the benefits accruing to the migrants.

What the opening post seems to want is homogenization which is a horrible thing that unfortunately will be difficult to stop. if I want to experience East Asian culture I'll go to East Asia, if I want to experience Middle Eastern Culture I'll go to the middle east etc.etc. A small amount of multiculturalism is OK, too much of it would be a terrible thing.

We went over to visit him 15 years ago and to say it was a culture shock was an understatement. Mosques, women wearing bin liners, all the blokes looking like taliban, He was the only white person left on his road ,all the rest were muslim, He was just waiting to get his pension so he could move back to Ireland. He said it was a lovely area when he first got there but as more and more starting moving into the area , the natives starting moving out. Thats not muticulturalism , its an invasion

The Internet, you mean the place where people can freely express their thoughts and not have to worry about being vilified, fired or even violently assaulted just for stating the truth? Life is too short to worry about your daughters or working-class girls being groomed and raped by Muslims in your hometown? "Ah, sure, my daughter is being plied with drugs and alcohol with the intent of grooming her for sexual proposes, but I'll be dead in a few decades so be grand like."

I think most people are fairly ok with it, tbh. Away from the internet, most people are ok, full-stop. The internet seems to attract a lot of angry lads who are full of misery and don't see anything positive anywhere.
Life's too short to obsess over stuff like this.

I know you're already thinking about white genocide, catholic oppression and that liberal arts girl that rejected you for being rough around the edges. But hear me out, because im about to tell you why multiculturalism is good. The one reason: It's the default state of humanity. You ever wonder why those forgotten tribes like in the sentinel islands is rare and in many ways primitive? Because they are not like us. The rest of the world has managed to collectively cooperate. One guy comes up with a great idea and someone else from another country copies it and improves it. Thats multiculturalism. I made this thread as a response to the obvious xenophobic hatemongering in other posts. Like some scumbag throwing acid to a child's face, somehow implicates every immigrant and they should be put under a proverbial spotlight. Its tenuous logic at any point of view. Right now I want you to imagine if Ireland became your insular and backwards utopia. Forget about the Wakanda syndrome (That if a nation somehow closes its borders and focuses on itself it will become advanced) and look at case studies. The empire Japan is the poster boy for the self-serving xenophobic nation state. And it was 200 years behind until it stopped the blockade then it entered modernity. If Ireland had no multiculturalism (which includes the Catholic church) it would literally be a depressing backwater even moreso than it was for hundreds of years. Everything you ever owned, knew and f*cked is influenced by foreign people. That doesn't mean genocide, asmuch as self-victimizing citizens in the top 10 quality of life in the world would have you think. It simply means acknowledging that Ireland and multiculturalism are deeply intertwined, even back to the building of 'native' structures (which were built by people that came from spain, scandinavia and france). Ireland's golden days when it was all 'native' never existed. In fact, those days were among the most depressing and oppressive in history that the population never recovered. Blighted by a food that came from Peru.
