I guess another caveat I'd add is that I completely disagree that multiculturalism doesn't add anything to society. I sort of glossed over that part having so strongly agreed with Lune's remarks about cultural relativism, which I do think is a very toxifying ideology and is the sole reason we have idiots like Ben Affleck trying to tell everyone who criticizes Islam that they're racist.
So that's definitely a point of contention I'd put forth. I mean, I would hate to live in a country that actively works against a multicultural society, that wants to keep everything white-washed and sterile. But, at the same time, there is this really awful air of political correctness currently surrounding the left and liberalism as a whole which instills, and protracts, a huge amount of anxiety and white guilt in people who would otherwise be able to think for themselves.
