critical theory with slavoj zizek: Multiculturalism is a racism which empties its own position of all positive content (the multiculturalist is not a direct racist, he doesn’t oppose to the Other the particular values of his own culture), but nonetheless retains this position as the privileged empty point of universality … multiculturalist respect for the Other’s specificity is the very form of asserting one’s own superiority.
