American has diversity under one roof, but there is one roof. It's not symbolic, you have a constitution that you have to swear for when you become a citizen. Even your citizenship has to be exclusive.
British never bothered with this. They don't have constitution, they don't care how many passport in your pocket. I only swore to her majesty when i became a citizen, and there was even no such ceremony before 2004. Her majesty is symbolic. English is dominant natually instead of arbitrarily. There is nothing in the chapter saying what you should do and should think.
Britain has many roofs. Usually Scots have their own roof, welsh got evertying for themselve, and Northern Ireland even don't need a roof. Some first generation muslim never speak any english in their British life.
Lots people suspect there is a race called British. English just saying they are English. And you can guess out it's a shame for Scots to be sluggish to disclaim such a word.

Yes, it will be very interesting to see how the British handle this Militant Islamist thing.
Multi-culturalism (?) in the states is quite superficial, I think. There is no doubt an Americana that is not only consisted of Broadway and Holywood, but the whiteman corporate culture, the press which speaks in unison most of the time, the evangelical Christian movement, and a life style represented by spawling surburbans and their shopping malls.
Multi-culturalism exists in the states pretty much only in private, that is, in everyone's home. The Chinese, the Indians, the Jews, the Italians, and the Mexicans retrieve to their respective cultures only after work and in their private home. - posted on 08/06/2005
U.S. Citizenship doesn't have to be exclusive, it is possible that you have dual-citizenships. It is the Chinese citizenship that is exclusive.
English is not mandatory either. You sure have right to speak whatever language you like here.
Concerning the "roof", there are Southerners who still think the civil war is not over yet. :-)
I am not a U.S. Citizen yet so I don't know about the swearing part, but the constitution is not really culture oriented. As far as the culture is concerned, I believe U.S. is deversified.

Yes, there's no other ways for the Americans to go, as long as they are diversified in the population, in origin, race, culture etc., as never existed in any nation in human history before. - Re: 多元文化还要不要posted on 08/06/2005

Really? American can take legitimate dual citizenships? That's not too bad. :)
Okok, as long as you live in States, you take the horn. I thought it's atually pretty to use diresity to cast one nation. :) - posted on 08/06/2005
I beg to differ! Different cultures exist not only in private homes but also in media, in press, in colleges, in work spaces, in religional institutions...
I do sometimes feel the superficial side of the diversity though. I wrote a poem called "O say can you see" in the cafe. It is not much of a poem but it does show my frustration. :-)

Very good, Susan! How did I miss this one!
I agree with you that it is not quite just the commercialism, although that accounts for a big chunk of it, such as the spread of Americana to Europe. Centralization of the control of the media by a few big corporations is another important cause. The rise of Evangelicals, which, remind you, is not a very tolerate religion (because they are obliged to convert others), may account for the increasingly narrow-mind of the public. The tide against feminism and minority populations (the "angry white men"), the advancement of technology which has led to marginalization of the masculine ... The collective effect is that people are becoming xenophobic, and are hesitating to exhibit difference. The road to Iraq is a good example of this whole trend.
O say can you See
by Susan
O say can you See
The next trend come to thee
So you are a refined man
The citizen of the globe
Can say "hello" in seven languages
And "I love you" in eight
The world is like a buffet
Served to you in a silver plate
The Pharoah the Allah the Buddha
The Kabbalah the Karma the Ka
Since when the world became a fashion show
A cultural Safari if you will
Observe behind the safety window
You come, you shoot, you go
but --- can you see it
If it is not in a souvenir shop can you see it
If it doesn't have a price tab can you see it
If it is not reviewed, appraised, approved can you see it
Do you even dare to look at it
Are you even allowed to appreciate it
I begin to suspect this is all illusion
This so-called diversity
All education
But no intuition
All decoration
But no inspiration
(And I am dangerously becoming one of them)
Since when the world became an anthropology museum
Only viewing but no touching
And definitely no feeling
But -- can you see it
If it is not behind the display glass can you see it
If it is not on the magazine catalog
Can you can you can you
Still see it - posted on 08/08/2005

By Michael Barone
Cultures Aren't Equal
Anyone who has been keeping up with British opinion since the July 7 bombings will have noticed that "multiculturalism" is under sharp attack. Multiculturalism preaches that we should allow and encourage immigrants and their children to maintain and celebrate their own culture apart from the national culture. Society should be not a melting pot but, in the phrase of former New York Mayor David Dinkins, "a gorgeous mosaic." That mosaic, of course, looked less gorgeous as people surveyed the work of the British-born-and-raised bombers.
In the past, Tony Blair has spoken favorably about multiculturalism. But on July 7, he struck a different note. "It is important, however, that the terrorists realize our determination to defend our values and our way of life is greater than their determination to cause the death and destruction of innocent people and impose their extremism on the world" (italics added). Sadly, the multiculturalist policies of Blair's Labor government and its Conservative predecessors gave refuge to preachers of Islamist hate in what some have called "Londonistan." Even before the bombings that prompted second thoughts, the chairman of the Commission for Racial Equality said, "We need to assert there is a core of Britishness," and the former home secretary introduced English-language tests for citizenship. Now the Blair government has moved to expel Muslim clerics who preach hatred and terrorism, and the left-wing Guardian fired a writer who was a member of Hizb ut-Tahrir, a radical group that advocates a "clash of civilization" and urges Muslims to kill Jews.
Imbalance. Writers in other tolerant countries have been noticing the blowback from multiculturalism. The Dutch novelist Leon de Winter wrote that as traditional Calvinist discipline frayed and Muslim immigrants rejected Dutch tolerance, "the delicate mechanism of Holland's traditional tolerant society gradually lost its balance." In The Age, the Melbourne, Australia, newspaper, Pamela Bone wrote, "Perhaps it is time to say, you are welcome, but this is the way it is here." The Age 's Tony Parkinson quoted the French writer Jean Francois Revel's Cold War comment: "A civilization that feels guilty for everything it is and does will lack the energy and conviction to defend itself." Tolerating intolerance, goodhearted people are beginning to see, does not necessarily produce tolerance in turn.
The conservative Telegraph of London ran a series of articles on extolling Britishness and placed on its website the contributions, positive as well as a few negative, of dozens of citizens. The nonagenarian W.F. Deedes, a journalist since the 1930s, perhaps summed it up best: "The reputation we have in distant lands, I have learned in my travels, is higher than we give ourselves. They admire us for our social stability, our parliamentary and diplomatic experience, for fair play, for tolerance, for a willingness to help lame dogs over stiles, as well as for some of the qualities Shakespeare sang about in his plays." When I was in Britain for the election in May, I was surprised to hear nothing from Tony Blair (or other politicians) about Britain's positive contributions to the world. Now they are being heard.
Multiculturalism is based on the lie that all cultures are morally equal. In practice, that soon degenerates to: All cultures all morally equal, except ours, which is worse. But all cultures are not equal in respecting representative government, guaranteed liberties, and the rule of law. And those things arose not simultaneously and in all cultures but in certain specific times and places--mostly in Britain and America but also in other parts of Europe.
In America, as in Britain, multiculturalism has become the fashion in large swaths of our society. So the Founding Fathers are presented only as slaveholders, World War II is limited to the internment of Japanese-Americans and the bombing of Hiroshima. Slavery is identified with America though it has existed in many societies, and the antislavery movement arose first among English-speaking evangelical Christians.
But most Americans know there is something special about our cultural heritage. While Harvard and Brown are replacing scholars of the founding period with those studying other things, book buyers are snapping up first-rate histories of the founders by David McCullough, Joseph Ellis, and Ron Chernow. Multiculturalist intellectuals do not think our kind of society is worth defending. But millions here and increasing numbers in Britain and other countries know better.
