That would suggest that what is being sought is monoculturism, not multiculturalism.
My understanding of multiculturalism - is not that all people are identical and all cultures basically the same - but that all people share an essential humanity and that the varied ways in which cultures have developed to answer essential questions of existence can co-exist and by doing so enrich each other: a multicultural society is one in which multiple cultural understandings come together - it is a constant and ongoing negotiation of shared and conflicting terms.
