Multicultural Britain 2.0 Is the Best Answer to Ukip | Malory Nye

Interesting commentary on the politics of multiculturalism in the UK by Mallory Nye:

Such a multicultural perspective is not about celebrating diversity, preaching tolerance, or looking to recognise others. It is instead, about acknowledging the diversity of stakeholders in the national debate. It is about the right for people and groups to be different on their own terms, so long as there is also a common ground of identity where all can feel comfortable. It is about acknowledging the challenges of diversity in an attempt to take us beyond the issues of community v. community, identity v. identity, us v. them.

It is about us and us, together with our differences.Any political party that can articulate this sense of acceptance, of a social and national wellbeing in the midst of its diversity, would earn the right to govern, and would indeed find itself with an electoral mandate to do so.

It would be nothing more than helping us to accept the realities of today, rather than falsely promising a return to the long gone days of empire and ethnic homogeneity.
