Multiculturalism and the War Against Western Culture

Video From Lawyrence Auster's 1992 Speech
"Multiculturalism and the War Against White America"

Here is the part dealing with the arts in America in the written form of the speech:

Cultural institutions in cities with large third-world populations are rapidly abandoning the Western high culture tradition in favor of third-world folk cultures. According to music critic Edward Rothstein writing in the New Republic, the new immigrants simply aren’t interested in Western music:

“[S]trikingly in a city like New York, [classical music culture] is largely a racially stratified culture as well: there are almost no black or immigrant faces (aside from Asians) to be seen in concert halls...My neighborhood arts organization, like many others around the country, has been unsuccessful in marketing Western art music to the new racial and international communities in the area. So instead they’ve begun presenting the folk musics of immigrant and black cultures.”

The same applies to the theater. “The reason that Broadway appeals less to New Yorkers these days,” writes theater critic Thomas Disch, “isn’t just that Broadway has changed: so have New Yorkers… [A] glance around the lobby at any Broadway show reveals who isn’t there: any of the city’s readily identifiable minorities — blacks, Hispanics, Asians …”

Auster makes this further observation in the written form of the speech:

While the “delegitimizing” impact of unassimilable immigrants can be seen in many areas of American life, such as education, criminal law, and national identity, in no other field is the problem of unassimilability more obvious than in the arts.

If we cannot agree on the "common culture" that Auster talks about in the video excerpt, then we cannot form a cohesive movement to save this culture.
