Take for example the talk of Arabs "saving" greek heritage, as if the actual greeks (the Byzantine Empire) never existed during those times. Byzantium still existed and still preserved the ancient Greek texts. The Byzantine colonies in Southern Italy were an alternative conduit through which classical Greek knowledge reached western Europe.
The Byzantine Empire ruled Italy during the 6 century and Southern Italy until the 12 century, so it had plenty of impact on "Western Europe". It had big cultural influence in Europe, for example the Cyrillic Alphabet that you see today in Russia and some Eastern European countries was created by Byzantine scholars for the european slavs, it spread christianity in Eastern Europe and Russia, according to some sources the first European University was the University of Constantinople, founded in 425, the biggest city in Europe was Constantinople, jews were treated fairly well in Byzantium, the largest cathedral in the world until 1520 was Hagia Sophia in Constantinople etc.
The golden byzantine coin, the nomisma, was the "euro" of european commerce until the eleventh century.

Also: this guy is from Norway. I agree that America should be a diverse country. But do you know that there is a lot of white countries that never colonised Africans or Asians? Take Norway, Sweden, Finland, Poland, Switzeland, Ukraine, Ireland, Romania, Baltic countries etc.
So why is it that their people should be replaced by other peoples?
These are small countries; why is it that the world should lose their cultures? How i'm supposed to know what is swedish culture if thre are no swedish people living in Sweden, just arabs, turks etc.?

Can you imagine such a poster prepared to promote racial diversity for black african countries? It will cause outrage and accusations of anti-black racism.
Anyone who promotes diversity only for certain countries is closet racist.

These are the perils of low quality propaganda. The BBC is forced to write nonsense in order to avoid offending some group, while simultaneously managing to offend the chinese and the japanese. :D

Although it is hard to call the third generation immigrants, this doesn't mean that they are or think of themselves as ethnic norwegians, since the mere fact that you are born in a certain georgaphic area doesn't make you part of any ethnicity.
