Western Civilization: The Results Are In
But no one seriously believes in the equality of cultures. When a multi-culturalist is ill he does not go to a witch-doctor and he does not travel to academic conferences on multiculturalism in an ox cart. If he goes abroad for a vacation it is to London, Paris, Rome, not Zimbabwe, Cambodia, or Greenland.

The intellectually sloppy claim of multiculturalism doubtless makes the claimer feel good, more tolerant and so on, but it cannot really be sustained.

The astute social philosopher Thomas Sowell argues that multiculturalism also plays a role in our current American racial relations. Both intelligent blacks and intelligent whites are aware of the black male crime rate, of illegitimacy, of educational shortfall, and so on. But whites don’t want to be called bigots, and blacks don’t want to be called inferior. Multiculturalism suits both their needs.

The first movements to abolish slavery completely occurred only in the West, and were led by Christians. In the modern era, first the Quakers and then the evangelical Christians demanded that since we are all equal in God's eyes, no man has the right to rule another man without his consent. This religious doctrine not only supplies the moral justification for anti-slavery but also for democracy. Yes, the idea of self-government is also rooted in the Christian assumption of human equality. One reason the atheist philosopher Nietzsche hated democracy is because he understood its religious foundation.
