I've seen a few comments in here about how racist Europe is. It got me thinking: maybe we awful Europeans could learn to mend our ways through observing scenes from life in Melting Pot America. I am particularly interested in scenes that do not involve White people, since they do not contribute to diversity, and since (as members of the oppressor class) their views on racial matters have less value.

Here's some I found. God bless America, and I only hope the heathens of this world can learn from your shining example!

I don't really see how anyone can say with any certainty that Europe is "more racist" than America. They've probably got about an equal amount of xenophobia.

Seems more like a salad bowl than a melting pot to me.

the whole concept of "more racist"
says more than any racism i have met in real life in denmark.

Racism is racism, stupid and wicked, be it from any of the so-called races.

I do not mind diversity and prefer it to certain cultures, most notably Islamic and Western cultures, but I am more of the belief that a much better world requires one world culture that is to be fried from the best aspects of the world's cultures, founded on reason and sustained by a world state. All people would assimilate into this one world culture without exclusion and without exception. Sure, there would be some regional variation but it would be relatively minor in any case, much like the difference between the Quechua of Ecuador and the Quechua of Bolivia or the North and South Chinese.

In my humble opinion, among the best real cultures that are alive today are, in no particular order, Quechua Culture, Mauritian Culture, Cuban Culture and Malayali Culture. All are very inclusive to varying degrees, have relatively little sexism, are stable, value education and are sustainable.

There are too many contradictory doctrines and memes loose in the world to create a working world culture. From a strictly human point of view we are still living in the shadow of the Tower of Babel.

Most European countries have been pretty homogeneous up until recently while the United States has always been a nation of immigrants. Americans have more of a shared cultural identity that is easier to integrate into compared to the more ethnic based cultures of Europe.

I like the idea of America. If it works for you, it works for you.

Unfortunately, the attempts by the political elites to impose such a solution upon Europe is not working because of our history.

If it's done consensually and everyone has something positive to bring to the pot, great. If it's like Europe where negative feelings and bigotry abound (on the native side as well in some cases), then that's not good.

Or a stew pot complete with undigestible lumps in it.

Cultures emerge locally and organically through hundreds of years of experience. A "world culture" is practically impossible. It would be an artificial culture and it would require erasing all local and national cultures.

I suspect that even if it were somehow possible to wipe clean the metaphorical slate, any newly created "world culture" would eventually fragment and once again become separated into a number of local cultures. Culture is heavily influenced by local factors.

Egalitarian all the way. If a black man can do his work, If a white man can do his work. I don't see the problem. I think its more of a mere exposure thing if anything. I see the black guys point, white men slaved them to create who we are now and now white people pretty much rule, there is no doubt about it.

"Culture" originally referred to the cultured food that varied from region to region before the advent of refrigeration, and only later came to mean the poetry and art and all that.

French cultures were cheese, wine, petit sale, sourdough bread, etc
Other places you could find bacon, hams, sauerkraut, sauer ruben, beer, kvass, injera, kimchee, pickles, tamari, miso, natto, sake, sour cream, kombucha, kefir, amazake, idli, dosas, yoghurt, lefse, tempeh, the list is as long as there are peoples in this world.

Trying to homogenize every culture together is a digestive nightmare. What we think of as "ethnic" groups are people whose bodies have adapted to their local diet and climate. Sure you can try to get everyone on board with One World Culture, like a "Jesus & McDonalds" program, if you're really into hammering the square peg through the round hole.

My friend is mostly Korean. He has flat teeth, good for grinding grains (rice) and salivates more than me. His body works best on a lot of rice and fish. Me? If I eat a lot of rice and fish, I get sensitive to it and get sick. I got fierce canines and northern european blood, and my body tends to be happiest when eating a lot of pork and sauerkraut and vegetables.

One World Culture is completely ridiculous. "Hey, you there, living in that equatorial region. We think you should hibernate from December to March, cause that's how it's done up north and we want everyone to be the same."
