So I was reading along in a paper and I was wondering what these 2 statements really mean. Maybe someone here can explain?
So for multiculturalism to work, 1) The native-born must accept immigrants as equals and 2) new arrivals must demonstrate a willingness to join mainstream society by adopting the fundamental mores and values of the prevailing culture.
I also would like your opinion on this...thanks!

The US is suppossed to be a multicultural society-(also called a melting pot) basically meaning that it doesnt matter where you come from in the world- you can go to America and live there. You can bring with you your religion and your traditions- as long as you dont break any laws of America.
An example would be- in your home country- you can marry at age 14. But in America the age is 18- so regardless of what your home country says about it- you still have to succomb to the laws of America...
its confusing I hope I helped a little.

Unfortunately new arrivals do not accept or demonstrate a willingness to join the prevailing culture, and it is because they are not willing to join the prevailing culture that violence breakes out, I really don't want you to think I am a negative person because I'm not, but multiculturalism in it's self creates violence, people say we are a diverse country because of multiculturalism NOT!, just look at who is saying how great it is , it's the immigrant because our governments allow him to make change for their benefit not ours, I am five generations born in this country, and an immigrant can come over here and change my culture to his, that simply angers this man.

some human beings might "love u . s . of america" yet in addition "love all cultures". it somewhat is not not undemanding to understand. That reported, a rustic that facilitates all cultures, has no way of existence. I immigrated out of the country, and continuously discover it insulting whilst others fail to income the language or way of existence. Have appreciate!
