Multiculturalism is a profound betrayal of the fundamental principles of the new ethnicity.
In the current culture wars on campus, however, an explicit indictment of the perversions of multiculturalism may be useful. Multiculturalism tends to divide the world into a privileged set of victims and their alleged oppressors, through the lens of a loose and vulgar Marxism. This Marxism is cultural rather than economic. It further pretends that its privileged groups are innocent. Since it regards inquiry as useless, criticism as malevolent, intellect as impotent, and reason as nothing more than a servant of power, multiculturalism protects its wishes through speech codes, the banning of books, and the shouting down of opposing voices.
