Morphine Prince 109,645 Posted September 23, 2015 Share Posted September 23, 2015 CEDAR FALLS, Iowa (AP) — Republican presidential candidate Jeb Bush said Tuesday that multiculturalism is bad for the United States, adding that immigrants who close themselves off from American culture deny themselves access to economic rewards."We should not have a multicultural society," Bush said, before beginning a longer explanation of his views of what comprises culture in the U.S."When you create pockets of isolation — and in some places the process of assimilation has been retarded because they've slowed down — it's wrong," he added. "It limits people's aspirations."But Bush said later he viewed multiculturalism as not aspiring to an American ideal. "You have to have people assimilate into society. But that doesn't mean we have a monolithic, homogeneous population. To the contrary," he told The Associated Press before headlining a legislative fundraiser in Cedar Rapids. "The power of America is a set of shared values with a very diverse population embracing it."Source: http://news.yahoo.com/republicans-bush-says-multiculturalism-wrong-us-222159073--election.html Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's an unofficial official American culture I'd say. But the US is multicultural in its core and that's what's so great about it imo. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

American culture is a blend of different cultures which has been adapted and "Americanized" over the years. That's what makes his statement so problematic.

craig 680 Posted September 23, 2015 Share Posted September 23, 2015 He's right. Diversity isn't an unlimited good. Some diversity is enriching - but to the extreme of creating permanent pockets of ethnic isolation, it's not good. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
