[MD] Multiculturalism scam

Passing moral judgments on differing cultures seems to be another story
altogether.

Conveniently, when Platt passes moral judgments on other cultures White
American culture always comes out on top. Go figure. Platt's
"anti-multiculturalism" is simply a guise for White Supremecy. Don't be fooled.
Or else Platt can prove me wrong by pointing out ways in which non-white
cultures are morally superior to his own? 

Its one thing to say "this is better in this regard, but that is better in that
regard..." and see how all can improve by witnessing what others "got right".
It's another to use wingnut rhetoric to say "everyone should be just like me".

Multiculturalism is, at its core, about respecting the non-important
differences, the "cultural clothing", that has appeared in wonderous diversity
across this globe. From being at peace with Jews wearing kippahs, or Muslims
wearing hijabs, to tribes that tatoo or piece their body with ornamentations,
from respecting Japanese that eat urchin to Inuit that eat whale, to Germans
that eat Wurst, from not showing the sole of your foot to someone who's culture
deems that an insult, to explaining why in your culture it is not. Its about
learning to speak another's language while teaching them your own.

Of course, in Platt's wingnut world, where he sits atop the pyramid of cultural
supremacy, all that is required is for everyone else to acknowledge his moral
supremacy and be just like him.
