  The current "politically correct" trend seems to be, however, that
minorities (especially *certain* minorities) should have *more* rights
than everyone else, as special privileges. That's not constitutional.
That's favoritism.

  The problem with the current multiculturalist PC religion is that the
same rules should not be applied equally to everybody, but that some people
should get privileges over the rest, for the sole reason that they belong
to a pet minority of multiculturalists (not *all* and every single minority
gets such special treatment, only those minorities which are currently trendy
among the "enlightened" multiculturalists).

  The long-term problem with such favoritism is that it causes resentment
on the majority which is now getting discriminated (as if they somehow
deserved that, for the sole reason of being the majority). But of course
multiculturalists are fine with that, because it's exactly what they want:
They want the majority to grow angry.

  Diversity as an idea is not threatening. Too much diversity in practice
is threatening because it divides the society, forms isolated groups and
increases animosity between them. Of course saying this is not politically
correct nor trendy.
