"Multicultural" Lingo Mix Up?

I totally agree, also people need to remember that there is a difference between culture and race. If we really wanted to we could call every GLO a multicultural organization, because they are! (But that's not their mission.) I have noticed this on my campus as well.

You probably did not understand what I meant, I know that those organization's missions are not to promote multiculturalism, but just because people are of the same race does not mean that they are of the same culture, so I meant that those orgs are probably in the literal sense "multicultural" and you cannot argue with that because again it seems as if we are confusing race and culture.

I know what you meant. I know the difference between race and culture.

"No" is my response.

Anywho, to answer the original question, I don't think it is RIGHT to call any organization multicultural if that is not what they were founded on, nor is it right to change the history of your organization to make it seem as if your organization was founded on multiculturalism. (This is completely different from what I said before, I know, I was just typing some BS on here sorry, I had just gotten up and was thinking weird, and read my posts later and wondered what the hell I was talking about, so this is the way I really feel.)
