Absence of multiculturalism is not inherently a "lack of equity", and dismissing any criticism with "you just liked it because you got to oppress people" is, well, dismissive. This excuse might work if you are only familiar with the US perspective, but living in a largely "monocultural" country myself, I can attest that it is not benefiting from "lack of equity" that makes it wonderful to live in. How could it, when, even assuming there is a substantial lack of equity, minorities are so statistically negligible that their oppression cannot significantly benefit the majority.
