If you've studied history at all you'd know that German's and the Irish have very different histories and cultures. That lead us to the question what is culture? Culture is often defined as language, food, ways of dress, the things that a group of people have in common that make them unique from all other groups. By this definition I am most definately mulitcultural, in face most Americans are. Just because we don't outwardly look it, does not mean that there is not much more there. Looks can be deceiving.

All I gotta say is whoa. . .and that you get major snaps taken away for this statement. I have no idea where this could come from because I know no one around here feels that you have to be non-white to be multicultural, so maybe it's something you're dealing with personally. . .don't really know. . .but the statement is messed up and an overblown generalization.
