I think two different concepts are being spoken about here (above 2 posts),
but are being confused & combined into one concept. There is nothing wrong
with a multicultural society . Think about it: no multiculturalism = no
ethnic foods, for one example. Want to forgo Mexican, Indian, Italian,
Lebanese, Greek, etc. food? (Nevermind no Toyotas!) Lack of
multiculturalism would be... boring! Heterogeneous = interesting.
Homogenous = boring.
