Death Knell For Multiculturalism?

We can hope so. Today French President Nicolas Sarkozy joined Germany’s Angela Merkel and Britain’s David Cameron in pronouncing multiculturalism a failure:

French President Nicolas Sarkozy on Thursday declared that multiculturalism had failed, joining a growing number of world leaders or ex-leaders who have condemned it.
“We have been too concerned about the identity of the person who was arriving and not enough about the identity of the country that was receiving him,” he said in a television interview in which he declared the concept a “failure.”

This is one more area in which the United States under the Obama administration is behind the curve, trying to replicate European policies that the Europeans themselves are giving up on.
