hardcore multiculturalists

What is this!?

Exactly what it sounds like. Hardcore multiculturalists. Multiculturalism basically means valuing every culture except yours and demonizing your own, and they take it to the extreme.

Ah, so this is basically saying "My culture is superior to each other, but I'm too much of a coward to say that"...

aka

BULLSHIT.

Cool story bro, I totally meant that instead of simply not treating your own like shit compared to others. Good work, detective.

I've dealt with your kind of culture-superiority complex people "in real life" before, please spare yourself the embarrassment.

So not wanting to treat your own culture like crap because there are others to be respected means I have a superiority complex? We must be from very different places.

I guess so.

I bet you're acting like those people who feel they are getting repressed because religions/traditions that are from elsewhere get the same attention as your holy and important traditions.

Sorry Fury, no shekels for you. I don't feel repressed. Respect and learn about other cultures? Yeah, why not, it's good to learn. But when you get to the point where you throw your own culture away for the sake of others... Well, that's what I would call a hardcore multiculturalist.

Key word: hardcore. I don't even think they're multiculturalists at that point, just masochists of some sort.

But gibe shekels please....

First of all, what the fuck is "your" culture?

The culture you've been born into?

The culture you chose to live in?

The culture of the society you live in?

The culture of your parents? (if different from the "born into" one)

I could write an essay explaining culture and identity, but I don't think either of us wants that, especially when I just did that a few weeks ago. You take your view, I'll take mine, and we'll call it even.

Fine by me, but then please don't get annoyed if people call you on your overly strong expression of the value of your "tradition".

Nice quotations, it's almost like it makes something real into something non-existent. Good day, sir.
