Multiculturalism's Lack of Culture

Mark Steyn is rapidly becoming one of my favorite writers, not the least of which is the fact that he can draw on knowledge of high and pop culture from the first half of the 20th century and make it relevant. Observe this:

In other words, if “multiculturalism” is intended to impart any facts about other cultures – the capital city of Malaysia; the principal exports of South Africa, apart from Charlize Theron – or even a vague curiosity about other cultures, then clearly it’s a spectacular failure. If you were to compare 2004’s output from Hollywood with 1944’s, you’d think a once thriving culture engaged with the world had suddenly developed a total aversion to foreigners. So obviously an interest in many cultures can’t have been the objective of “multiculturalism”. What then was its real point?

I didn't even know Charlize Theron was South African. Read the whole thing.
