Yup. Yet, a HUGE number of voters agree with multiculturalism.
As they should. In a place like America, there is no dominant ethnic culture. What we have in common is a political culture, and that has to be enough. Certainly the LACK of a dominant ethnic culture has served America better than ethnic nationalism has served Europe. In the end, the intelligent minorities were driven OUT of all of the European countries, they came here where no ethnic culture dominates, and they all contributed to make a nation much stronger, wealthier, more advanced and better to live in, for them anyway, than ANY of the European (or Asian, or African) countries they left behind.
I'm afraid this won't end well for that Catalonians. Too bad really. But no country wants to see some of its most valuable real estate go waltzing off. We'd be the same way about NYC or CA or FL or TX deciding they wanted independence.
