Because 'multiculturalism' is not about enjoying your native culture. I
enjoy my scottish and italian cultural origins very much, thanks, but I
am not a citizen of Scotland OR Italy, and I will not put the interests
of either country, or its citizens, or its culture, ahead of America.
America is my native and primary culture. 'Hyphenated Americans', who
place their ethnic orgins first, ahead of their status as Americans,
damage our republic. They encourage sectarianism, tribalism, and
inter-ethnic strife, of the sort we see in the Balkan states so much
these days. I would think that anyone with intelligence would see that
Yugoslavia is an excellent example of what NOT to do with a country, yet
allegedly intelligent liberals want to do the exact same thing to
America.
