Are Multiculturalism and Diversity Strengths? | Peter Boghossian & Eric Kaufmann
Eric Kaufmann is a Professor of Politics at the University of Buckingham. Originally from Vancouver, BC, Canada, he was born in Hong Kong and spent most of the last few decades in the UK. He is principally interested in cultural politics: ethnicity, national identity, left-wing ideology and religion, and has written extensively on these subjects.
After two decades, Eric decided to relinquish his full professorship in Politics at Birkbeck College, University of London for the University of Buckingham, stating his case in an article for The Critic called “From monoculture to counterculture: why I am leaving Birkbeck for Buckingham”.
Peter and Eric discussed multiculturalism and its effects on society, immigration policy, differences between the current state of the US, Canada, and the UK, meritocracy, how to solve the capture of elite institutions, Social Justice, and more. The two even place bets on the future of Critical Social Justice and other cultural issues and will revisit the bet in six months.

Read The European Conservative’s interview with Eric.
I suggest reading "The Dying Citizen" by Victor Davis Hanson. He explores the consequences of multiculturalism from many different angles.
Seriously?
Ask Yugoslavia
Ask the Hutu & Tutsi
Ask Shia Vs Sunni
Ask the Catholic v Protestant Irish
Ask the Sioux & the Crow, or the Apache & Anasazi
Ask an AWFL who considers herself “multicultural” about an Iranian woman beaten to death for showing her hair, perhaps the epitome of “multiculturalism.”
Multiculti & diversity are, every time they have shown up in history, led to the fall of that nation or civilization.
Only assimilation works when people from other culture get together, the entire purpose of which is to successfully meld those cultures into one.
