Multiculturalism from a Spenglerian perspective

[Thomas777]

Please analyze. What are the implications of this conundrum? Will alien, colored races flooding the West transmorph into "handicapped" forms...amalgamations of divergent influences lacking in any pure creative potential? Will they stake out cultural fiefdoms within the carcass of the West like so many parasitic colonies...retaining the soul of their culture of origin? Thoughts please.

The U.S. will likely look like South America with its elite remaining white, its middle class composed of whites and a couple of other ethnic groups (likely Asians and Indians) and its lower classes made up of poor whites and other ethnic groups. The lower classes will make trouble every so often and, this being the U.S., they'd likely be bribed with somesort of social goodies at the expense of the middle class and the more complacent of the lower class citizens.

But more to the point of your question, they'll likely carve out cultural feifdoms with very little intermingling except where lower class folks border eachother.

You may find Spengler's book/essay 'The Hour of Decision' to be relevant, Thomas. Though Spengler questioned the viability of a multiethnic, majority white America, much of what he said is still fairly interesting and comparable to the way things may head in the future.

I don't think Spengler would necessarily have been hostile to multiculturalism. At its abstract foundations, I think it is consistent with his approach to relativism. Of course this point will be lost on those who equate multiculturalism with some imagined "multiethnicism"
