Chapter 6 - Aria - Exploring the Text: In a 1994 interview, Rodriguez made the following comment about multiculturalism: “Multiculturalism, as it is expressed in the platitudes of the American campus, is not multiculturalism. It is an idea about culture that has a specific genesis, a specific history, and a specific politics. What people mean by multiculturalism is different hues of themselves. They don’t mean Islamic fundamentalists or skinheads. They mean other brown and black students who share opinions like theirs. It isn’t diversity. It’s a pretense to diversity.” Do you agree with Rodriguez?
