Haven’t watched the video yet, but I have always thought multiculturalism is an oxymoron. People today be like “haha, white people have no culture, Canada has no identity, too funny rofl” and yet what do you expect? We don’t expect anyone to adopt any part of our culture when they come here. It’s always been, just bring your own! BYOC.
The problem is, not all of the people from the different cultures we are bringing in feel the same way about accepting other cultures, ie. from others also coming in. So what happens? You end up with a bunch of culture silos with absolutely nothing to unify everyone. And the original “multiculturalists” are left with no identity of their own, and worse, end up having to make concessions regarding any shred of culture that might remain because people are encouraged to believe the culture they bring is the only thing that matters. Case in point, Halloween and Happy Holidays. It’s absurd.
