[Margaret Pilkington]

I suppose it depends what you mean by multi-cultural......if you mean many cultures living side by side, each allowed to do their own thing.....then maybe, just maybe there is a chance......but if you mean one culture adopting the ideals of another then I think you are right......much has been made of forcing the issues in multi-culturalism, and this has done nothing to move forward the abilities of different cultures to live together.......the only real way to get cultures to mix is for inter-marriage over generations......that is the only way you get a mix of cultures.

One of the greatest ways to foster intolerance is to favour the ethnic groups over the indigent population......and whether it is true or not, that is what the general population believes happens here.
