I found this interesting. The writer is a former radical liberal who is now a Christian Conservative.
Most Leftists enjoy thinking of themselves as colorblind philanthropists, hell-bent on erasing bigotry from the public mind, bringing every racial category into economic harmony, and uniting every culture in a sort of tolerant, egalitarian utopia. But is this self-assessment true?
In order to be truly multicultural, one has to have a tolerant approach to all other cultures, since -- coming from a postmodern, atheistic perspective -- there can be no right or wrong culture, and we all have to live peacefully with one another. But while most Leftists are increasingly tolerant of foreign cultures, their tendency toward domestic bigotry yields the assumption that multiculturalism is not truly multicultural, but is laden with racially based tendencies.
