Dr. Hodges wrote a very good post a while back on ethnic nationalism versus civic nationalism. You may have read it already, but if not, I recommend it.
Americans do already accept multiethnicity and even a degree of cultural variety within America. Call it moderate multiculturalism. A radical multiculturalism, however, would lead to a fragmented America in which a multitude of ethnic nationalisms would compete. Imagine, in that case, a very different 'American' response to the Cho shootings.
Go thou and read!
