The kids who rioted were French. They spoke French. They were born in France,
grew up in France, but were not allowed into France, so to speak. That is not
multiculturalism as I understand the word.

A multicultural society means that the society accepts multiple cultures. If
you go to France you dont have to strive to be like other Frenchmen, learn
the language, learn French history, or learn French politics. You can be a
Muslim and continue to speak Arabic and its okay. Multiculturalism is
Politically Correct. You should know about multiculturalism. We have it here
in California. You can come across the border speaking Spanish and you dont
need to learn English. Heck, well learn to speak Spanish to make it easier
for you. Ive commented about this before. Ive said that fortunately,
America is so accepting of immigrants that La Raza isnt working. Mexicans are
learning English. They do better, they get better jobs and their kids do
better in school and get better jobs if they learn English. But the Liberal
Ideal of Multiculturalism remains. It exists here in the U.S. and it exists in
Europe. And it doesnt work. Carried to extremes it will destroy a na
tion.
Multiculturalism was accepted in France. It was politically correct to accept
it. Muslims were not tasked with become Frenchmen and women. Liberal leaders
in France like the idea of multiculturalism, but the French men and women on
the street didnt. It just doesnt work. If you cant talk to someone then
you dont. If they have different ways of doing things then tough, its your
country and they should learn to do things your way.
Im surprised all you liberals are having so much trouble with this. You
should be saying, oh yes, it will work. Isnt it racist to say that
multiculturalism wont work? Do you think its okay for those French
Caucasians to tell those dark-skinned Arabs that they have to be just like them?
I havent read the FrontPageMag article yet, but I can hardly wait.
