The Multicultural Cult By Thomas Sowell October 19, 2010
欧州社会での多文化主義政策への住民の反発
Multiculturalists condemn people's objections to transplanting hoodlums, criminals and dysfunctional families into the
midst of people who may have sacrificed for years to be able to escape from living among hoodlums, criminals and
dysfunctional families.
The actual direct experience of the people who complain about the consequences of these social experiments is often
dismissed as mere biased "perceptions" or "stereotypes," if not outright "racism." But some of the strongest
complaints have come from middle-class blacks who have fled ghetto life, only to have the government transplant
ghetto life back into their midst.
アメリカの移民政策の成功は多文化主義とは異なるもので、むしろその対局にある
The absorption of millions of immigrants from Europe into American society may be cited as an example of the success
of multiculturalism. But, in fact, they were absorbed in ways that were the direct opposite of what the multicultural cult
is recommending today.
Before these immigrants were culturally assimilated to the norms of American society, they were by no means scattered
at random among the population at large. On New York's lower east side, Hungarian Jews lived clustered together in
different neighborhoods from Romanian Jews or Polish Jews -- and German Jews lived away from the lower east side.
When someone suggested relieving the overcrowding in the lower east side schools by transferring some of the children
to a school in an Irish neighborhood that had space, both the Irish and the Jews objected.
None of this was peculiar to America. When immigrants from southern Italy to Australia moved into neighborhoods where
people from northern Italy lived, the northern Italians moved out. Such scenarios could be found in countries around the
world.
It was in later generations, after the children and grandchildren of the immigrants to America were speaking English and
living lives more like the lives of other Americans, that they spread out to live and work where other Americans lived
and worked. This wasn't multiculturalism. It was common sense.
アメリカの移民政策の成功は、移民のアメリカ化であって、多文化主義の成功ではない
