I don't support Multiculturalism. Each country has a unique identity and multiculturalism cant be one of them (its the total opposite). Multiculturalism leads to tension and conflict, not just in Western countries but all around the world.
Intolerance leads to tension and conflict. The hard fact is that we have a mix of people currently in Australia. Most major cities in the world have a mix of different cultures. You just have to look at cities such as London, Paris, Berlin and New York to see that. Countries can have a unique identity and still have diversity. China is a good example of that. Languages within China include Mandarin, Cantonese, Min, Wu, Gan, Xiang, Kejia, Mongolian, Tibetan, Korean, Uighur and Mia, although Mandarin is the official language. Each of these groups represent distinctive cultures all of which are encouraged.
It's difficult to find any country in the world that only has one cultural group. Hmmm maybe San Marino?
