The Menace of Multiculturalism : Trojan Horse in America

Rating:
Summary: E Pluribus what?
Review: Schmidt's "Menace of Multiculturalism" is another text within the genre pioneered by Schlesinger, D'Souza, et al. (namely, what the negative consequences of the multicultural ideology will be for America). Schmidt effectively exposes the omissions, distorted facts, and indubitable lies that the multiculturalists employ to propagate their Marxist inspired weltanschauung, and what the results will be for America's solidarity if this ideology is allowed to permeate the culture and the schools.

Summary: Great book
Review: This book is a great book because it seeks to lift the banner of equlity of individuals. A great philosophical book and a good read for more understanding on the dangers of loosing the American identity because of Multiculturalism and its agenda.

Summary: Of interest, but sloppy and sooooo conservative
Review: This is not my sort of book at all. The main problem is that many of us who are pro-affirmative action, pro-choice, pro-feminist, and Left of the political center, are frustrated by many of the things the authors discuss here, if not frustrated in the same way as conservatives. Yes, the charge of racism is being flung around by people who make good livings doing so; yes, white males are not vomiting green slime and speaking in tongues; yes, multi-culturualism can be a eupemism for pan-intolerance and pretended anti-nationalism. But why do conservatives always have to predict gloom and doom when anyone lives a different lifestyle, especially one that isn't harming anyone? Why do so many white males (and the occassional Indian-American like our friend Dinesh) have to behave like caricatures of school-marmish uptight white guys, afraid of anyone with different ideas than their own? This book could have been an interesting, even challenging read; instead, it is like a few copies of the Weekly Standard sewn together. Depressing, Dinesh.
