"Could there be a stronger indication of the idiocy of multiculturalism"

The problem being, if I may borrow a phrase, "there is no alternative" to multiculturalism. What are you going to do - ban all immigration? Convert and 're-educate' those you do let in? Get real, Strawman!

Though it's not all about people from different countries or faiths. My culture is radically different from, say, John Howard's, largely because of the difference in age. But age isn't everything - my culture is very different to goths. Or Young Liberals. Or yours (but that's age as well, old man). Of course, it all depends on your definition of 'culture'. Your Bovination attempt at a definition isn't too bad, I must admit.

"the failure of immigrants to integrate even in successive generations?"

So in your strange little world, successful multiculturalism is when people with different cultures adopt the dominant one, thus not actually having multiculturalism at all?

Disclaimer: I believe some cultures are better than others. But that belief itself is a product of my own culture.

I like to think that cultures that fail the basic tests of time will die out, so there isn't really much of a problem. Except for the people currently living in shitty cultures. But you can't force them to a different one, can you? That goes against Bovination tenets.
