La izquierda británica le da el finiquito al multiculturalismo

Son las ventajas de tener una izquierda que piensa (porque además es liberal) en lugar de tener una izquierda alegre (porque es sólo progre):

Multiculturalism was formed with good intentions as a counter-reaction. But it has become a mirror-image of this old racism, treating Muslim women – and others – as so different that they do not deserve the same rights as the rest of us. As the European-Iranian feminist Azar Majedi puts it: «By creating different laws and judicial systems for each ethnic group, we are not fighting racism. In fact, we are institutionalising it.»

When people talk about defending Muslim culture, ask them – which culture? The culture of Irum and Nasireen, or the culture of their abusive husbands? Multiculturalism patronisingly treats immigrants as homogenous blocks – when in fact they are as diffuse and dissenting as the rest of us. Would anybody lump me in with Richard Littlejohn and Nick Griffin as part of a «white community»?

There is a better way for the state to understand and regulate human differences, beyond the old oppositions of Tebbittry and multiculturalism. It is called liberalism. A liberal society allows an individual to do whatever he or she wants, provided it doesn’t harm other people. You can choose to wear PVC hotpants or a veil. You can choose to spend all day praying, or all day mocking people who pray.

Espejito, espejito mágico, quién es la mas bella en el reino? Y el espejito mágico nos mostró un buen ejemplo de «multiculturalismo y civilización aplicados».
