New Post (152) : Reject --- the trashing of multiculturalism.
Multiculturalism is a body of thought in political philosophy about the proper way to respond to cultural and religious diversity.
Mere toleration of group differences --- falls woefully short of treating members of minority groups as equal citizens.
Recognition and positive accommodation of group differences are required through --- “group-differentiated rights”.
Some group-differentiated rights are held by individual members of minority groups, as in the case of individuals who are granted exemptions from generally applicable laws in virtue of their religious beliefs or individuals who seek language accommodations in schools or in voting.
Other group-differentiated rights are held by the group qua group rather by its members severally. Such rights are properly called group rights, as in the case of indigenous groups and minority nations, who claim the right of self-determination.
Multiculturalism ought to be celebrated ! (…NOT trashed).
Trash the manipulative trashy politicians who are telling you otherwise.
Do not just open the doors. Open the hearts and minds too...........(THAT's where WE have failed).
Question/S: What do you do with a new kid who joins your class at school ? Bully him or welcome him ? What does your response to that question say about you ? What if that kid was destined to go on to become your "democratic" country's President or Prime Minister or Chancellor (whatever) ? Ha ha ha...........
