OFF on a tangent...
I think, that in America we fail to realize all of the cultures WITHIN a cultural category. For example, Puertoricans and Mexicans honestly don't have much in common with each other. From the outside, one may meekly think 'Well..they both speak Spanish'. But the reality is that most dont look alike, talk alike, think very alike, eat alike or enjoy the same music.
Judging from what I know from my Asian friends, it's the same thing. For example, Filipinos and Chinese people...very very different.
So in a sense, an LGLO or an AGLO are kinda multicultural to those who join.

I've said this same thing, before on GC, about
all GLOs. EVERYONE comes from a different place. "Multicultural" GLOs are those whose specific purpose is to
specifically honor and encounter all cultures, not only to accept all cultures and be non-discriminatory. There's a difference.
