Why Multiculturalism Is a Fraud
and a Disaster for Women's Rights
by Brenda Walker
Islamic woman in burqua Multiculturalism argues that all cultures are
equal expressions of our human variety. In fact, some diversity
adherents even portray traditional cultures as superior to our crass
western ways. Colorful ethnic attire and interesting cuisines do have
a certain cachet when seen from a distance. But when the reality of
women's brutal oppression worldwide is considered, multiculturalism
can be seen as a fraud. Indeed, it supports the continuation of the
monstrous crimes against women by its "celebration" of traditional
cultures while ignoring the dark side.
handcuffsWhile the social status of women in western cultures has
improved markedly in recent decades, the experience of life for women
outside of Europe and America remains largely one of cruelty and
coercion. For example, Sixty Minutes reported in 2000 that India is
missing 22 million women and girls because of sex-selective abortion,
infanticide and the murder of adult women by their husbands for
insufficient dowries. In several Latin American countries a rapist can
be legally absolved by offering to marry the victim. The scourge of
"honor killing" continues around the Islamic world, a practice where
thousands of women are murdered for the smallest affronts to rigid
social codes. An unproved charge of sexual infidelity or even a
husband's paranoid dream may result in a woman being burned or hacked
to death. Her murderer receives the approval of family and community
for his action.
The false ideology of multiculturalism with its accusations of racism
toward anyone who will not submit has intimidated Americans into
believing it is desirable to welcome millions of immigrants from
cultures which consider women inferior. Western culture, for all its
faults, is a comparative oasis of equality for women, unlike the
traditional cultures so esteemed by the multiculturalism proponents.
It is alarming that some Americans are so naive or brainwashed that
they seek to increase such retrograde diversity in our institutions
and in the nation as a whole, evidently to prove their rejection of
racism. However, the absurd preference for third-world cultures in our
immigration policy amounts to importing sexism. Is that supposed to be
some sort of improvement -- trading racism for sexism? Don't we already
have enough male privilege in this society without inviting the
misogyny of the world?
Truly appalling is the program of "diversity visas" run by the State
Department. Every year the government runs a "lottery to people who
come from countries with low rates of immigration to the United
States," apparently under the supposition that the United States is
not yet diverse enough. For the year 2005, 50,000 new immigrants will
come from countries including Sudan, Somalia, Bangladesh, Pakistan and
Peru. For the most recent diversification, see this State Department
listing. These are countries that have cultural traditions of slavery,
purdah, "honor killing," female genital mutilation and exoneration
from the crime of rape if the perpetrator marries the victim.
America's diversity will indeed be increased by the addition of these
cultures -- unfortunately.
