Diversity rather than multiculturalism

Like the past term “cosmopolitan,” multiculturalism overlooks or blocks the sociobiological definition of human nature, defined as being essentially kin-centered, local, patriotic, even ethnocentric. You can't block these basic elements of human nature without suffering a disjunction of personality, a disharmony of culture.

It is not “bigoted” to be in harmony with human nature!   E.O. Wilson sought to include sociobiology in the humanities beginning back in the 1970's with little affect on the academic world, popular culture or the media.

Diversity is a better concept than multiculturalism. Americans are most fortunate to have inherited a Constitution that affirms diversity in the form of small states within a light federalism, whose main task is protect those differences. Small states can even be seen as ethnostates, where real human nature can harmonize with a culture that relates to real human nature.

When “provincialism” is defined the way T. S. Eliot defined it, failing to affirm multiculturalism is not being bigoted. Being provincial is being blind to historical knowledge, blind to other periods of history which can help us understand how to be better provincials, and better able to live in a world of diverse people and cultures.

Granted, this is position is “politically incorrect” at this time, but it had better not remain so. True diversity unacknowledged has often led to radical, secessionist revolution, and not tolerance of multiculturalism.
