WAV: if you want to decline to answer any more questions ON THIS THREAD and start a BS thread to discuss political issues, that's absolutely fine by me.

these are neither "xenophobic" nor "racist" words - I really DO love the world being multicultural

Please get this into your head: there is absolutely no contradiction between being racist and really, truly, genuinely loving the world being multicultural. When we say your views are racist, we emphatically don't mean that you don't love the world being multicultural. We know you love the world being multicultural. We also believe you're a racist. Think about it.

In the mean time, what about answering my earlier question about assimilation?

You've said earlier that it's a bad thing when people lose their culture; in many ways I tend to agree. But doesn't that mean that it's a good thing when immigrants keep their culture alive?
