assimilate or you're an existential threat brehs.
remember that time Europeans assimilated into Native American culture and we all lived happily ever after?
yeah
the principles i outlined apply to every country and every society, native americans are a perfect example, native americans accepting or being forced to accept immigrants without also requiring them to assimilate dommed them, multiculturalism doomed native americans
im against multiculturalism not because i love white people and im not cosiging odyssey, the corollary to my argument is that white people also have to integrate
but overall i dont think non english non white people are less racist than white people or represent anything better than american culture, so i think its better to push immigrants to assimilate instead of trying to promote outside cultures and languages that just divide america more than it already is

Uhhggg i may have said this before but I went to a Christian College in Oklahoma and in one of my religion classes some chick from Alabama action stood up and argued with the professor (very knowledgeable and smart guy) and ultimately the conversation stopped when she said, "well If old English was good enough for JESUS then it's good enough for me"...

well i posted the link showing that the break up of canada being discussed in the highest levels of government
Quebec secession opens rift in Harper cabinet
http://www.theglobeandmail.com/news...opens-rift-in-harper-cabinet/article14971721/
i make no predictions about the future of canada, that wasnt my point, my point is that just the fact that the breakup of canada is being discussed shows the danger of multilingualism
if you have other theories as to why the canadian government is discussing the break up of canada feel free to enlighten me
And what if the govt is wrong in the direction it is trying to head the country in, as govts have been many times and still are in many cases (including a lot of fundamental American policy)?
Can you provide any empirical proof that diverse populations are harder to govern? What are your metrics for ease of governance? What about empirical proof of diverse populations having less social cohesion? No theories or forced conclusions please, you have been touting these things w/no kind of outside sources to validate your claims... I'm asking for them now.

Did i read that because natives were forced while not forcing other to assimilate THAT was their doom?
You're going to have to explain that one to me because I'm pretty sure they weren't in much of a position to force anyone to do shyt. I'm pretty sure it's been widely accepted that disease doomed them. Let me guess, had they forced small pox to assimilate and become more native things would have worked out differently?
Damn that multiculturalism.
It's an ethnic, not simply a linguistic problem. The French identity of the Quebecois people is not simply grounded in language, but a history as a completely separate colony/settlement derived from a completely different country. Many of their separatist-leaning people don't consider their province truly part of Canada proper. That's very different from immigrants coming here and setting up a Chinatown or whatever. That aside, though, the government is discussing it because it's obvious that one province's right-wing politicians is profiting from divisive rhetoric and stirring resentment. It doesn't mean anything like an actual secession is in the works, though. In order for that to happen, they'd need permission from the federal government, which wouldn't happen, and illegal secession a la the American Confederacy is unthinkable in the modern West. Also, Canada's response to French problems is explicitly multiculturalist- even though French is a minority language whose ancestral speakers are mostly restricted to only 1 province, you can conduct all official business in it no matter where you are in the country, and it has the status of a 2nd official language alongside English. Their constitution explicitly mandates catering to minorities in most circumstances.
Here's the constitutional reference: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Section_Twenty-seven_of_the_Canadian_Charter_of_Rights_and_Freedoms
They have also passed additional pro-multiculturalism laws: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Canadian_Multiculturalism_Act

Well it's a stupid opinion. That's just my unbiased opinion. It's like if Saudi Arabia got mad that someone translated the Qu'ran in English. How could it possibly be a slight on your heritiage and beliefs that someone who speaks a different language might want to take part in it too?
