LH>That the French have pursued multiculturalism is very very very
LH>(to borrow from Geary) well known,
At frontpagemag.com, yes. Elsewhere, no.
but you might have to crack a book or a journal article or some other report
to know that. . The leaders, the people setting the policy established France
as a multicultural nation (read the UNESCO report),
I haven't read the report (I've downloaded it). I quote *again* from the
abstract:
>However, ideological
>multiculturalism has begun to make inroads into the French model
>of citizenship through the political accommodation of migrant groups,
>especially at the local level.
and now ask you, which people? what policy?
And I quote again
" The essential point is that multiculturalism has never been tried in France.
On the contrary, France's problems are a manifestation of the failure of its
flawed attempt at integration over half a century or so. "
and *again*, ask you to define "multiculturalism".
