> The word "multiculturalism" is often said with positive affect but the culture they're talking about is clothes, food, holidays etc.
> shallow culture
> But if you talk about ideas toward democracy, gender equality, war, medical experiments ... people HATE variety of culture.

This is a little bit out of date already - it's a professor saying it - but it's still a valid point, all the people who "want multiculturalism" don't actually want it...

The problem as defined is that culture is drifting off a cliff - evidenced by the falling birth rate, but also many other things. There's one big mono-culture and it's failing.

@cjd if it's not the crony capitalism of today, ok. the west is ussr in technicolor instead of shades of greyish brown.

My opinion is that Capitalism can only function within bounds - because if it's unbounded then there's no reason not to just shoot and bomb your competitors until you have a monopoly, and there's no reason to even keep producing things when you can just just bomb and shoot everyone who refuses to pay tribute to you in exchange for nothing.
