Multiculturalism is an 'utter failure'

Its not what we "want," its what we "should do." With multiculturalism, parties have to be willing to make concessions. When people are unwilling to make those concessions, bad things result. It hurts yes, but we have moral obligations. We should promote understanding of other cultures without surrendering our own identity.

Now don't get me wrong, quite too often we take it a bit too far when the dominant culture concedes too much; however, that does not mean it cannot work. Those who are part of the dominant culture have to balance their own needs with the needs of others.
