Transracialism, multiculturalism, and community
Transracialism, multiculturalism, and community

Summary/Abstract: Some critics nowadays are calling for the development of a transracial or “color- -blind” society. They claim that the current focus on multiculturalism is causing undue social conflict. In general, these critics want to promote an absolute culture that provides a universal standard for assimilation. The problem with this approach to maintaining social order is that diversity is undermined, along with key elements of democracy. What is needed, instead, is an image of society that does not require unquestioned assimilation in order to insure solidarity. In this way, the democratization of culture can be promoted.
