Christchurch - Xenophobia and Multiculturalism
If you've read the manifesto of the Christchurch shooter, you know that he was someone deeply concerned and bothered with immigrants coming into NZ and subsuming the local culture. The general gist of the manifesto was that white culture and race is being eroded by immigrants. He says he targeted Islam specifically since, out of all the immigrant groups, Islam is the loudest and most violent in their opposition to Western values and culture.

The manifesto, and subsequent attack, was designed to achieve virality and fuel discourse around immigration and multiculturalism. He also wanted to sow discontent and pit the races against eachother. I don't believe that ushering in some big racial conflict is the smartest idea for the future of humanity. At the same time, I can recognise that country demographics is a real field of study and that there is a higher birthrate amongst immigrants in the West versus the local population.

I'm not one for nationalism/patriotism, but I get that's important to some people. So to those people (and to the anti-patriots) I ask - What should be done?

Multiculturalism vs monoculturism. The world seems set on the path of globalisation and interconnectedness. It seems foolhardy to think multiculturalism isn't inevitable. The Christchurch manifesto and attack were one man's attempt to stop that inevitability.

What should be done (if anything)? What /can/ be done? How do we move on from here?
