The Drawbacks of Multiculturalism

Paper Summary:

This paper argues that multiculturalism is, in itself, dangerous. Critics of the concept are increasingly in agreement that multiculturalism in the end does more harm than good. The paper argues that the fields of language, art, culture and everyday human relations suffer under the bureaucratic guise of "equality".

From the Paper:

"In this way, under the guise of honoring the struggle of cultures to make themselves heard, this very struggle continues by not being allowed to fade into the past where it belongs. Once again, intercultural resentment begins to manifest as a result of apparent favoritism for the "struggle" and those who were part of it during the 1960's and 1970's. This has become so evident that many prominent colored artists' work has come to be referred to as "victim" art. This of course does nothing to alleviate already pronounced racial tensions because of multiculturalism."
