Default Multiculturalism is an 'utter failure'

To quote Robert D. Putnam:

"We hunker down. We act like turtles. The effect of diversity is worse than had been imagined. And it’s not just that we don’t trust people who are not like us. In diverse communities, we don’t trust people who do look like us."

I'm definately not a racist but I have come to accept the multiculturalism is a complete and utter shambles. I can tell you it has made no improvement on my country (New Zealand), but infact increased the racial tension that already existed due to our former bicultural demographics. Our multicultural model is not working. It's also sad that the indigenous New Zealanders (Maori) are going to lose their culture completely because of their complacency to face down this issue.

I promote a homogenous society with positive co-operation between 'countries', unfortunately this has gone on for too long and it's only going to get worse. This makes national identity worthless. I would like to return to my roots in Europe, and try to avoid the worst of it by building my biotechnology company there. So I ask:

Do you have the same concerns about the future?

Who's with me?
