One of the key problems with many champions of multiculturalism and immigration is their tendency to stop at the surface. They focus on celebrating the easy, aesthetic elements of culture food, fashion, festivals, physical traits and habits and then call it a day.
What they spectacularly fail to recognize is that culture runs much deeper. It encompasses core beliefs about human dignity, respect, the role of the individual, legal equality, freedom . Different cultures have different definitions of these words , These aren’t small details they’re foundational moral frameworks. And they VARY dramatically across societies. What considered a lie somewhere is politeness somewhere else , what considered entitlement is theft somewhere else
When those deeper differences are ignored in the rush to blend cultures, it creates friction between all side that escalate dramatically . People feel disrespected, judged, or even threatened, not because of malice, but because they’re operating from fundamentally different worldviews and different cultural definitions
More effort should be put on this side of things than the aesthetic , because from my observations only immigrants that happen to have the bandwidth to read the room and adapt end up compatible with the new society
