“When I used to teach “Introduction to Sociology” at the University of Washington, I had back-to-back lectures during the first week on culture and society,” said Kanazawa. “I explained to my students that culture and society were two sides of a coin; one cannot exist without the other.  Culture needs society (and its inhabitants) to sustain its existence and initiate its change, and society needs culture to hold it together and survive.  Just as there is no such thing as a coin with only one side, there is no such thing as culture without society or society without culture.  It is physically impossible to construct a coin with only heads without tails or a coin with only tails without heads.  It is equally impossible to have a culture without society or a society without culture.”

 

When any society begins to speak multiple languages via immigration, it begins to fracture as to communication among its citizenry.  Once communications and “similar thinking” fragment, balkanization and separation ensue.  Today in America, Muslims cannot and do not assimilate into American culture or any Western cultures. They enclave.  The same holds true for Mexicans in America.  They separate into their own barrios.  It’s  not racist; it’s biological; it’s tribal.

 

“As an integral aspect of human culture, language cannot exist without a society of speakers speaking it daily and interacting with each other,” said Kanazawa. “Nobody disputes these truisms about culture and society from the social sciences, yet the same people also claim that we now live in a “multicultural society.”  If you think about it for a moment, you’d realize that the notion of “multicultural society” is a logical and physical impossibility.  It is similar to a coin with only one head but several tails.  It is physically impossible to construct such a coin.”

 

Kanazawa exposes the obvious.  Competing cultures cannot and do not work within a country. It goes against millions of years of human activity.

 

“That culture needs society to sustain its existence means that multiple

cultures require multiple societies,” said Kanazawa.  “That society needs culture to hold it together means that multiple societies require multiple cultures.  There must be exactly the same number of cultures as there are societies, just as there must be exactly the same number of societies as there are cultures.  In any bag of coins, regardless of how many coins there are, there are exactly as many heads as there are tails, and vice versa.  One culture, one society.  “Multicultural society” is a physical (and sociological) impossibility.”

 

If the United States and Canada or Western Europe hope to survive in the 21st century as viable and cohesive societies, they must curtail mass immigration from incompatible cultures.  If they fail to take action, they will face endless strife for their citizens as well as the immigrants. 

 

Multiculturalism doesn’t work on every level of human interaction.

 

As resources diminish, food grows scarcer and energy depletes, we will witness more clashing cultures within all Western countries that imported large numbers from incompatible cultures.
