i can't help but notice all the diverse parts of america are on fire right now... clearly it didn't work.

diversity isn't a good thing, and democracy depends on having ONE culture to work or we can't all get along. Infact diversity never does any good anywhere; only harm

diversity hurts civic trust and unity https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/pdf/10.1111/j.1467-9477.2007.00176.x

diversity damages economic growth

diversity causes people to avoid interacting with their community https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/abs/10.1111/juaf.12015

infact here is an analysis of 87 different studies combined together on the subject of diversity….. not a single one found a positive effect of diversity…quite the opposite https://www.researchgate.net/publication/335924797_Ethnic_Diversity_and_Social_Trust_A_Narrative_and_Meta-Analytical_Review

To clarify things here, multiculturalism is not the mixing of cultures into a larger whole. That's assimilation. Multiculturalism is cramming separate cultures together while maintaining all the cultural differences. There's a huge difference. Assimilation combines all the most successful traits of various cultures to form a new and better one. Multiculturalism just increases tensions and ultimately causes violence.

So, judging by the degree to which people identify with various subgroups today and can't stand one another, I'd say multiculturalism has succeeded. Changing from an assimilation model to a multiculturalism model was not intended to improve anything, it was meant to increase strife.

It’s all about scale and culture.

The ingress needs to be limited so as to not overwhelm the receiving culture and it also needs to be the dominant cultural force in the loves of the immigrants. Subcultures can be okay, but first and foremost you need to be adopting the values of the receiving country. Ideally you should already hold those values and going to the receiving country allows you to embrace them fully.
Regions were it has been uncontrolled and too many people have come and formed insular communities — that is a problem, that is failing multiculturalism.

Hispanic-Cool-Guy · Answer

Failed. Multiculturalism is a disaster. Once you start to mix people in bunches from different religions, languages, races and different political systems you are bound to see conflict within that society.

Humans are tribal by nature and do better in a homogeneous society.

BeenThereLovedIt · Answer

I would argue it's succeeding, but with the internet came the opinions, and racism found a platform to scream from, and then form groups, and then well now we have a racist minority in charge of the country and doing everything they can to make it a racist majority by gassing every spark of racism they see. Now we all see infernos and the black people are being forced (again) to fight for equality, or at least their civil rights.

The "white" public used to hate the Irish. Jews were looked at suspiciously. Abe Lincoln wasn't just a racist, EVERYONE then was. That was the norm, and accepted public consent. A lot has changed for the better since then but we still have a ways to go.

The failure of multiculturalism was inevitable, because it is contrary to the order of nature and the demonstrated will of God.
Multiculturalism is the Communist term for destroying Western Civilisation and exterminating the white races by flooding the West with the population of the Third World and, at the same time, encouraging miscegenation.

jshm2 · Answer

We'll let you know when it is ever actually implemented.

The problem with so called talkers in multiculturalism, is that they forget that it is nothing compared to the mainly White institutions, and systemic racism the multiculturalism stands in.

Hence it's like throwing a little spice on a potato salad, and then claiming it's a "spicy potato salad".

No Western country has moved past it's colonial and racist history to ever properly embrace multiculturalism. Hence the reason every Western country has the problems with it, that it has.

hellionthesagereborn · Answer

Well it was highly sucessful in the US up until the 90s when they destroyed it by encouraging hatred of the US, hatred of whites, and told them to not respect our laws and our culture and to essentially break away into their own groups. Thats when multiculturalism failed. Prior to that the US was doing great with it because we were all working together towards a common goal and didn't have each group go off and refuse to cooperate with every other group.

SuccessfulHornDog · Answer

I am fine with the multiculturalism I am not fine with leftist politics dividing us all to based on ethnic differences and manufacturing racial strife. They are race baiters whose goal is to always keep us divided. They will lose their power if we work together so that is the last thing that they want to see

mrArcher · Answer

It depends on how deep our perspective of culture is. If by culture we reffer to only aesthetic expressions like food and dance and stuff like that... No, it is not a failure. But about things like family values, the role of the state and other stuff, yes, most definitely. Some cultures are largely incompatible with one another.

I am a British Pakistani, who migrated to England at the age of 9. And STILL voted failed because of Pakistani grooming gangs in England, which rape white underaged girls using drugs.

FatherJack · Answer

It was never designed to succeed... those REALLY in power... for now anyway , are using this as a Divide & Rule tool , and using the " media " to stir up more hate between all different groups.

Smoke-n-Growls · Answer

It's hardly an experiment, it's a reality that's been quite successful. Anyone who thinks otherwise is likely a scared white kid who has barely traveled outside their own city. Or a QAnon troll.

FakeName123 · Answer

I can't think of a single country that has gotten better through multiculturalism. Not one. Though, what did increase is the lackluster social cohesion, crime-rates and tribalism.

tartaarsaus · Answer

It depends on where you set the goalposts of what defines success or failure.

Like yes, immigrants from poorer nations (and their descendants) do tend to have higher crime rates. But then at the same time, by far most (and we’re talking 95%+) are not criminals.

It depends on how you define success or failure.

Imuglyandiknowit · Answer

it failed. im one fourth puerto rican and i have tried so hard to downplay it for so long. i lies to people by saying i’m only one percent puerto rican because i wanted to be fully white so badly.

Juxtapose · Answer

The idea itself is flawed. You need to have a cohesive set of principles across a nation or it just won't function.

Soteris · Answer

Considering the developed countries are multicultural and the undeveloped are ALSO multicultural I can't find enough data on "mono cultural" countries to make a decision.

Tamera952 · Answer

No, I sure don't think so at all. Whether you like it or not, that's the direction we've been heading toward, and still are.

crmoore · Answer

Largely succeeded. Everything was fine until very recently when people started complaining about cultural appropriation, as if the most diverse country in the world wouldn't have cultures that mesh or overlap.

John_Doesnt · Answer

How is it an experiment? Humans have been integrating since they first evolved. All species integrate, that's how life on Earth works.  SMH

Tea-Spaghetti · Answer

I think it depends on where you're talking about. In Queens or LA it seems to work. In somewhere like Detroit maybe not.
