Exactly. Take Toronto for example, I think there is something like 100 different recognized cultures in the GTA alone. And I love the fact that I can see all the different cultures when I drive around downtown.

Ah, but the mere fact that all these cultures are in the same place means they're mixing. Now, this issue is muddled somewhat since most North Americans don't really *have* their own culture to fall back on-- hence the melting pot.

Pretty much the only way to keep cultures from mixing is to stop communicating with other cultures. Although this promotes global diversity, individual diversity is gradually reduced, and each person is only exposed to one culture-- their own. Not only is this horrible and boring for the individual, they become ethnocentric, then all the world becomes engulfed in a massive holy war!

The other option, communication with all cultures, results in the opposite effect. The whole world becomes populated with that horrible gibberish-speaking mixture so lovingly portrayed in South Park.

The only solution I can think of-- to promote both cultural diversity and cultural awareness-- isn't realistic. But I will give it a shot anyway. If all of us keep ahold of what little culture we have left, and revel in it, we just might eventually come to the global mindset that diversity is good.
