When do you think multiculturalism was implemented? Hasn't America been multicultural for...hundreds of years? Different immigrant groups had their own culture, different states had their own culture, different religions had their own cultures, hicks/urbanites had their own cultures, educated/uneducated had their own cultures, etc.

- marcosdumay 4y agoGoing on the GP's line¹, diversity of cultures is a result of balkanization. Just like genetics speciation, but with memes. Once people start moving around, multiculturalism dies. 1 - I'm not sure I agree, but after reading the comment, I'm tending this way.
- robocat 4y ago> balkanization FYI: I suspect the meaning you are trying to convey diverges from the meaning many others would use by that word. And perhaps tautological?
- marcosdumay 4y agoI think it's the main meaning, where people just can't or don't move between groups much. I don't think why people don't move is important for the wording, is it? (Yeah, historically the word origins from a very bad setup, but that's not how I see that word being used.) Anyway, if the reasons have any importance, it just means I've used the wrong word. Still, it's arguably if many cultures can survive when people move from one group into another freely. (I guess the alternative is a form of tribalism, where people just pick their tribe independently of the mainstream. This only seems to work for non-impactful values.)
