    I kinda have no problem with multiculturalism; I want to be around as many cultures as possible, tbh.

        No, no, you're fine, I figured that you were offhandedly broaching a complicated topic in the Western context.

          When I think of multicultural, we also have to think of local-born multiculturalism countries like Yugoslavia (eg. Bosniak + Croat + Serb + Albanian) or Indonesia (eg. many indigenous ethnic groups et languages) as well,

          So it's bit funny to see multicultural to refer to such things in the west

            Oh yeah, I think I know what you're referring to.

            The West (at least North America) is increasingly, at least, multi-racial.

            But multicultural? Truly? Not sure about that one.

            If anything, cultures get destroyed when they meet contact with American shores... at least, more often than not, it seems.

            There's nothing really done to preserve certain cultures or histories, etc.
