Italy Not Diverse Enough, Laments NYT

Steve Sailer dissects the NYT's globalist push. As Steve Sailer comments at the end of the piece, the NYT, lately, has become a bad parody of Kevin MacDonald's theories.

Wouldn't the whole world be better off if Italy weren't so damn Italian? I mean, what has Italian culture ever contributed to anything? When will the Italians get with the program and adopt the Universal Globoculture? The New York Times wants to know!

Italy Gives Cultural Diversity a Lukewarm Embrace

By MICHAEL KIMMELMAN

Europe, for all its diversity, can be remarkably provincial.

Ponder that for a moment.

Italian culture certainly isn’t diverse now. It subsists on an all-white, all-native, monoethnic diet of Italian game shows, Italian television mini-series, Italian advertisements on cable stations for improbable vibrating contraptions that promise to jiggle fat away, and Italian pop music. Even Roman schoolchildren no longer stray far from a spaghetti-with-ragĂș diet now that an intercultural city program to serve one international-themed lunch a month has been abandoned by the new center-right government, heeding some Italian mothers, who doubted the nutritional value of falafel and curry.

Italian children in Italy eat Italian food? The horror, the horror ...

And isn't it about time they tore down the Florence Cathedral and put up a Frank Gehry building made out of sheet metal? How come there's not a Hello Kitty logo anywhere on Michelangelo's "David"? Shouldn't La Scala dump Verdi and stage a tribute to the Spice Girls?

Its funny, and fitting, in light of recent news, that he uses Frank Ghery as an example of trash culture. Trash developer, trash architect, trash project.

Here's where the NYT doesn't realize their gross hypocrisy something which they are NEVER challenged on in mains stream media:
Franca Eckert Coen echoed that remark. An Italian Jew in an overwhelmingly Roman Catholic city who lives in an apartment filled with Jewish art, she was in charge of multicultural policy under the former mayor of Rome,

Huh? Would I be considered a multiculturalist if I was described as a having an apartment filled with English Anglican art? No, I would be considered a 'narrow minded' nativist. This sort of hypocrisy happens one too many times to not take notice.
