As an American, from the outside it looks almost like the countries of Europe are trying to emulate America. The whole "country made up of many different peoples" kinda thing. But to me it seems like cultural suicide for Europe. Whereas America was created for that specific purpose, (to be a melting pot) Countries like Germany and Sweden have always been relatively culturally isolated. And when someone from another country, say for example France, (I'm a dual citizen of France and the United States) moved to Sweden, they were close enough culturally to assimilate to certain extent and to have their children identify as Swedish. But this new wave of immigration has seen a different form of integration. Multiculturalism. Instead of changing the people into the original group (Not forcefully, through regular social behavior and integration) , the group changes to suit their needs. And this is deadly to me. My American half allows me to see Europe from the outside, but my French half is the one I identify as. And just the thought of my French heritage being replaces by another one is appalling to me. Sickening. I would fight to the death to keep my culture intact. What is your opinion on Multiculturalism? You obviously know mine lol but is Assimilation a better process?
