Well unfortunately it doesn't appear to be here.

For more on marking an answer as the "Best Answer", please visit our FAQ.It's all very well delving through the history books finding examples of superior cultures who imposed 'improvements' on the vanquished. What possible benefits can these inferior, backward cultures bring to us? ( A wider variety of diseases for our doctors to practice on as a Labour peer suggested yesterday?)
Jim, //"Multiculturalism", whatever that means, has undoubtedly brought with it certain problems, but I think it's very difficult to say that those problems would have gone away otherwise, //
That makes no sense. Without multiculturalism the problems wouldn't have arisen so they could hardly 'go away'.
//or that they will be solved by stopping the experiment.//
They won't be. The rot has set in.
//But was the "experiment" even avoidable in the first place? How does one stop it? //
It wasn't an 'experiment', it was avoidable, and as I said it can't be stopped. It's too late.

Multiculturalism has never worked & never will. All immigrants who settle anywhere in the world will automatically want to settle where their own kind are settled. In the days of ''The Raj'' the Brits in India for example always formed enclaves where other Brits had settled no one (or very few) wanted to live with '' The Natives'', so to expect a country to become multicultural was & still is very naive thinking. Has anyone noticed that our '' Betters'' always make sure that they reside in places that 9 times out of 10 are gated &/or secluded ?.
I'm sure you must be rubbing your hands in glee, Naomi, while casually missing the point as usual. In this case I don't think multiculturalism is nearly as bad as you seem to paint it out -- but it strikes me that if you think it is and then have no practical solution to the problem other than moaning about it, then why not try and fix it instead of moping? Of course that subtlety is lost on you, but never mind.
Going well, isn't it?

Jim, I haven’t missed the point – casually or otherwise – and watching my country and its culture being systematically destroyed definitely doesn’t induce me to rub my hands with glee.

That makes no sense at all. If I have no practical solution how can I try to fix it?
//Of course that subtlety is lost on you, but never mind.//
Ooooo … meow! ;o)

I have, in the past, wanted to use the same argument as yourself
// no one (or very few) wanted to live with '' The Natives'' //
as a prelude to saying "the British Raj never bothered to blend in, so why should our incoming colonists?"
But I knew this was wrong, because I'd seen the "Who Do You Think You Are" episode which addressed this subject because it pertained to a UK celebrity (mentioned on the Kutcha Butcha wiki page).

This made sense out of a documentary I'd seen some years prior in which there was a crowd of 50-100, staring fixedly at the camera and I was struck by how 'European' a large proportion of the faces looked.
Counter to that, I recall a fellow undergraduate who blagged his way into some technical job, in Australia and returned, some months later, a tasteful shade of mahogany.
If fiction like Doctor Who stays true to form, the future is brown, anyway.
