People have many opinions on weather its good or bad to be multicultural. Few people believe that being of two cultures is negative. I however, believe that coming in contact with two cultures can have an extremely positive effect on a person. Some people believe that being multicultural is a mostly negative experience. Being from different cultures can also expose a person to some forms of discrimination.
People can loose jobs and other opportunities because of their background.
When I first moved to this country, I often received pressure from my grandparents to keep my Bulgarian culture in front of everything else. They would even go to the extremes of getting mad when I watched an American sport like baseball. After some time passed they finally accepted the fact that I had to become multicultural in order to survive. Personally I have not experienced any strong negative effects of being multicultural. There are several reasons why I feel that being multicultural is an advantage and not a handicap.
