is multiculturalism bad for native europeans in terms of the preservation of identity?

Question

Once all European races become mixed (like in america) they can no longer call themselves Europeans and therefore European civilizational attributes can no longer be legitimate (like in america).

Answer 1

Why single out Europeans? Multiculturalism is good for everyone, to teach tolerance.

Answer 2

As a native born European it has been negative for the most part. I cant speak for everyone but many Europeans will agree the massive political push for multiculturalism has been negative. Never in the entire history of mankind has misogyny worked. Homogeneous cultures tend to be the strongest and longest lasting. There are good answers on here.

Answer 3

Why are you referring just to Europeans? The same principles would apply anywhere. People can still retain their own national identity in a mixed cultural environment. What is required is tolerance of each other. I'm English but have lived abroad for a long time. Do you think I've forgotten about my English identity? Of course not!

Answer 4

Multiculturalism is freeing us from being so closed minded, broadening our culture, reducing xenophobia and bringing in skilled workers who will work for minimum wage. Expanding the gene pool also makes us more immune to diseases. The expansion of identity is also a good thing, freeing us from monotony. I say bring in purple, green and blue people, what exciting cultures there are to discover. No more can our philosophical beliefs be confined to such narrow parameters, we are meeting our long-lost cousins from all over the global village.

Answer 5

My grandparents and great grandparents on my mom's side were both born in cuba, and their parents were from cuba (therefore I'm spanish, not cuban). My mom married a man who was of Irish and British descent. I'm happy with my roots. I celebrate three cultures (even though I love Spain the most) and I don't think about the fact that I'm more than one culture. Why not? don't multiple cultures make someone more fun?

Answer 6

You have a very weird outlook. Please recall that it is the Europeans that have invaded every continent on this planet and made it their own. In most cases extinguishing the native lives to the minimum. Don't please mention the Americans as they not only killed most of the natives but also most of the bison. And they too are mixed from Europe,Asia,India etc.,

Answer 7

to an extent yeah, not necessarily just europeans though, but i can see how it would get borin and it is, ppl likin the same music, wearin same clothes etc, the world is sufferin from mass globalization. the upside is we can al relate to eachother more, i think its not really a bad thing, if a countrys heritage is strong enough and they are proud of it they wont let it change.

Answer 8

Probably yes, do you feel your own cultural identity is strengthened or weakened by multiculturalism?

you can learn about China for example without needing to import 10,000 Chinese people, & the same for Chinese to learn about the English, I doubt if they would be keen on 10,000 English turning up in China??

Answer 9

nian3555 and waiching liu are the ones reporting everyone for no reason, report them back and point out that people at Yahoo do not have the right to censor us just cos we don't agree or sympathise with them.

Answer 10

What culture?
Seriously, how do you define 'European Culture'?
There are many DIFFERENT countries that make up Europe, or are you one of those that thinks Europe is one country, like Africa is......?
