I am shocked (not shocked) that someone is essentially making an analog to the time preference argument concerning black people in this thread.

Next you will suggest that All Lives Matter

I love how people are for multiculturalism but then try to put down American culture.

So today I have learned that multiculturalism implies that everything should be uncritically accepted, and that American and White are the same thing. I am curious what other fascinating revelations this thread will deliver! Oh hey I believe that people should be allowed to discuss African culture so obviously I believe that female genital mutilation is OK, or else I could not be a "multiculturalist."

Ah the old "if we just stopped talking about it" tactic.

There is also a difference between valuing the participation in socially necessary labor and the Protestant Work Ethic which is what people often refer to when mentioning work ethic in the US.
