The week's question
In December 2024, in the thread "Re: BRK: Why Not XOM?", BreckHutHigh asked the members: "What about the long road trips with kids?" This week it is put to everyone again. The button below opens the small thread re-asking it - read what others have said so far, then give your own answer as an ordinary reply.

Can you expand on that? What is "run amok"?

Let me give you the straight answer that a Jedi in sheep's clothing won't face.

"Multiculturalism run amok" is when it gets in the way of his tribe's bigotry.

In a way its one of the defining characteristics of the MAGA movement. It's the inability to see other races and other cultures being just as valid as white, male-dominated, Christianity. It's the fear that being accepting of other races, other cultures, other ways of life, somehow diminishes their own race, their own culture, their own way of life. They fear that they have to stop being themselves if they accept someone who is somehow different.

Some might accept a black person, but only if that black person doesn't talk about slavery and racism in the USA. Others might accept a person of Hispanic origin, but only if they speak English without an accent and don't talk about the Roman Catholic faith. They might accept an Asian who eschews their Asian background. They'll accept people who are from other cultures, but only if they give up their historic culture and become like the white, male-dominated, Christians who they are used to being around.
