I think the thorny issue of multiculturalism and how and why it should be unpicked, what should be kept and what discarded, is at the heart of the debate for most European dominated countries (sorry, clumsy term but I hope you can see why that covers Europe and Australia and New Zealand). By contrast, most Americans that I have known don't flick an eyelid when multiculturalism is mentioned, I suspect the term itself doesn't mean anything to them because they normally aren't shy of expressing an opinion.
