This is a little bit out of date already - it's a professor saying it - but it's still a valid point, all the people who "want multiculturalism" don't actually want it...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 absolutely, talking to older generation, learning the codes and observing how they deal with issues, especially the older generation norms about character and honor, and especially non verbal communication, which internet has removed from younger generations.
Highschool removed it, the internet arguably helped put it back. There's a lot of grey hair around here...
