Multiculturalism has little to do with attitudes, it just describes a society 
with many different ethnic inhabitants. It can however give rise to 
"attitudes", animosity usually.  For instance the old Austrian/Hungarian  
Empire was known for its multiculturalism and its old capital Wien also 
become a hotbed of antisemittism that influenced Hitler who spent his 
younger days there. Arlo also goes somewhat lightly over dress and 
nutrition codes that are religiously motivated and those that climate 
and what is available dictates. For Jews and Muslims the mentioned 
outfits are religious signs as is Halal and Kosher food (a ceremonial 
way of slaughtering animals). It has nothing in common with German 
würst or Japanese (and Norwegian) whale dishes. All in all a most 
shallow analysis, but what is to be expected from one who rejects the 
SOL? ;-)
