debateSo, now that we have some members, here's a topic:
Is "multiculturalism" truly beneficial?
I'll start off by taking the negative position.
Multiculturalism is a tool used by the establishment to prevent the unification of Americans into one common culture. It perpetuates inter-cultural tension by emphasizing the differences between Americans who come from different cultural heritages. The only true path to peace and unity is to abandon this continued segmentation to fulfill the promise of the Melting Pot.
Discuss. :)
