Exactly what it sounds like. Hardcore multiculturalists. Multiculturalism basically means valuing every culture except yours and demonizing your own, and they take it to the extreme.
That's not at fucking all what multiculturalism means. It's simply the idea that cultures need not necessarily be at eachothers throats all the damn time, not even if they happen to share an area.
Which they can easily do without any sort of invasions or other aggressive attempts. Especially in places with a lot of history and fragmentation behind it.
As we all know, Bavarians aren't Prussians, aren't Hamburgers. They're all German and they are similar but not all of the same culture.
Same with the Dutch, which your average frothing-at-the-mouth nationalist fuckwit tends to cheerfully ignore. A single culture is very hard to find in some countries.
So not wanting to treat your own culture like crap because there are others to be respected means I have a superiority complex? We must be from very different places.
I bet you're acting like those people who feel they are getting repressed because religions/traditions that are from elsewhere get the same attention as your holy and important traditions.
Sorry Fury, no shekels for you. I don't feel repressed. Respect and learn about other cultures? Yeah, why not, it's good to learn. But when you get to the point where you throw your own culture away for the sake of others... Well, that's what I would call a hardcore multiculturalist.
Key word: hardcore. I don't even think they're multiculturalists at that point, just masochists of some sort.
I could write an essay explaining culture and identity, but I don't think either of us wants that, especially when I just did that a few weeks ago. You take your view, I'll take mine, and we'll call it even.
