Jordan Peterson was asked by journalist Camilla Tominey about his views on multiculturalism during a recent exclusive interview with GB News, Britain’s nominally Right-leaning news station. In a refreshingly scathing tirade, the Canadian public intellectual branded the idea of mixing incongruous population groups together as “a miracle of stupidity,” correctly making the link between diversity of cultures and the potential within multicultural societies for civil conflict. Predictably for him, given his positioning on the establishment-approved center-Right, he eschewed ever mentioning race and its interrelationship with culture as a determining factor of that stupidity, preferring instead to emphasize the importance of assimilation into a dominant culture over cultural pluralism.

Jordan Peterson uses the restaurant argument in praise of multiculturalism, citing a trip to a comparatively less diverse London in the 1980s during which he was served tinned spaghetti. pic.twitter.com/999sZ7pVZt
