What's your opinions about multiculturalism?
In Europe we have a lot of debates over this. But I can only speak for how it is in Sweden. The only political in party in Sweden which is against it states that we in Sweden have a common culture: we work hard, without bragging about it. We are neutral when it comes to war. 80% of us are agnostics or atheists. Materialism is not equal to status. But when other cultures (most focus is laid on muslims) come to Sweden, they do not adjust to our society, which most of Sweden think is the right choice. The socialistic&nationalistic (not nazi) party SD (Sweden Democrats) compares this with trying to put a VHS in a DVD-player. It just won't fit.
I myself am neutral in this question - I think that everyone has the right to be themselves - but then again, if enough people come here with an attitude that isn't swedish, we will eventually not have as strong cultural bonds left and we will slowly but surely lose our political power to influence our country in the way the swedes want it.
So what are your opinions? Some background info on how it is in your country would be interesting. And let's keep this mature. No generalisations or calling people racists, etc.
