Multiculturism far from 'multi'
One of the most oxymoronic ideals on campus is multi-culturalism.Multiculturalism in itself is a very good thing. The willingness of everyone to share and delve into each other's ethnic history makes the whole of humanity better. Through understanding there is less antagonism. However, nothing is as simple in practice as it is in theory.In practice, […]
