Would YOU respond to people who take delight in slandering and 
misrepresenting your belief system?

[Arlo]
Misrepresenting? Fair enough. Let's start here.

You said, "[multiculturalism] alters our traditional value system to 
make discrimination in any form immoral", pointing out that 
"multiculturalism" derived from school desegregation. Do you think 
that school desegregation was moral? A "good form of 
multiculturalism"? Or do you believe school desegragation to have been immoral?

You also said, "The object [of multicultralism] is to render society 
colorblind to cultural and racial differences." Can you articulate 
some "racial differences" you feel are important? Can you point out 
some "racial differences" we should not be "colorblind" to?

You said, "Thus, all people are viewed as equal and no nation is 
culturally superior to any other." Do you believe that some people 
are superior to others? And some inferior? What do you base the worth 
of the individual on? What makes some people "better" or "superior" 
to others? (By the way, "multiculturalism" does not pretend that all 
people are equally skilled in, e.g., playing the violin, but it does 
promote that the worth of life is "equal" for all people. Agree or disagree?)
