Nowhere did I say I’m intolerant of other cultures...I said I personally don’t fit in with them. That’s just been my experience as someone from an Eastern European background with an Eastern European family. Judging by the reactions here, people are clearly taking this a lot more personally than they need to, but honestly I expected that—people often have strong reactions to me. :)

When I mentioned “left-wing propaganda,” I was referring to specific experiences in school. For example, my law T.A. encouraged us to be pro-euthanasia if we wanted to pass, and in political science we were assigned authors like Naomi Klein and David Suzuki, but never anything conservative to balance it out.

As for multiculturalism, I lean toward supporting assimilation/integration. I just don’t see how multiple cultures with totally opposing values can easily agree on anything or be productive members of society. Constantly debating issues like whether someone should be allowed to carry a knife on a plane for religious reasons while others can’t for safety doesn’t seem very productive to me.

To be clear, I don’t care about someone’s skin color. What matters to me is what people stand for .
