Synopsis

Multiculturalism is a conservative idea seen as progressive. It is about background, ethnicity, belonging, spokespersons and roots. Those who talk about roots talk about an idyll of the past, a historical El Dorado in contrast to impartial institu- tions, technological achievements, gender equality, and modern society. A reactionary ideology does not become more radical just because “progressive” journalists, politicians, and academics are cherishing it. The developed world has dragged a Trojan horse into its midst.
