Multiculturalism at its Finest

SepiaMutiny's been arguing over whether diversity creates or breaks down social capital (among other things; it's a long and very interesting discussion).

One of the sidebars, of course, is about diversity in relationship to assimilation; what will happen when all of us Americans-with-various-hyphens meld together?

Perhaps it will be something like this.

A rural midwestern town...
With a Chinese restaurant...
Playing J-Pop...
In which the singers are bubblegum-popping a duet aria...
By a French composer...
About a British guy...
Who loves an Indian woman.

Rock on, melting pot.

Is that your story? :)
So, what takes you to H'bad? A British guy? :)

No, not my story. Especially because Lakme in the opera kills herself at the end.

You know, 'cause it's opera. :)
