Multi-racial not Multicultural
|
Please read VICTOR DAVIS HANSON's books: Who Killed HOmer? and Carnage and Culture. YOu will get much out of them both. He is a trained classicist (Greek and Latin) who argues that we are not multi-cultural but we are multi-racial. We are of the Western Culture in the Americas and Europe. What does that mean? Well this: we embrace such Western cultural ideals as individual rights (speech, vote, press, assembly, religion,...) and representative govt. The cultures of the East for example, largely do not; this is clearly evidenced by the Muhammad cartoon flap and countaless theocratic governments that are in power in the Middle East and Asia. WE ARE CULTURALLY WESTERN....we are NOT MULTICULTURAL.
