You seem to have overlooked one of my first posts in this thread:

"I'm not calling for change.  I'm perfectly happy with the status quo."

Thus, I'm not actively pursuing:

* "fragmenting formerly homogeneous, cohesive, united societies", or;

* "turning your back on what the rest of the world do, and have always done".


I thought we'd already gone over this ...

I'm perfectly happy with things they way they are, however, I would not be worried in the slightest if the percentage was to change (higher or lower). 

I remember saying "I go with the flow".

You then commented on a "jellyfish" and some other "spineless creatures".

I've lived in this country for half a century.

Thus far, no problems.

Sorry, no problems for me ... personally.

For the country? ... sure, there have been problems.
However, nothing worse than anywhere else in the world.

A nonsensical argument, because as I already explained the mere presence of foreigners does not make a multicultural society.  Would you say that...Somalia is "multicultural" because medecins sans fronteires have some european doctors working there?

One of the things people are afraid of here is that people might still feel a sense of loyalty to their country of origin. Do you think that's a good thing? I don't think it's a particularly good thing. That's one of the reasons why a lot of people are opposed to multiculturalism and too-much immigration. It's because it might include loyalty to a foreign country.

For example, a common question asked of anyone who doesn't have white skin or who has black hair is, "What country do you come from?" If you've got British, European or Russian ancestry you probably wouldn't be asked that question. It's a legitimate question and I wouldn't say it's nobody's business, but it seems like your country of origin tends to be important to people. If they have any reason to be afraid of you, your country of origin would be one of the first things they ask. The second question would then be, do you still love your country of origin?

If we can all agree to denounce and renounce our origins, people of different backgrounds might be seen as less of a threat. That way, people have less of a reason to say, "get on a boat and go back to your own country."
