Multiculturalism sprouts no unique problems from monoculturalism. People just have a knack for being ****y. Don't confuse the issue.
Also I've lived in LA, which is one of the most diverse places in the world, and I've had little problem with the scary "others".
EDIT: I'll note that I agree on assimilating to a conventional culture for immigrants, but I think that we already accomplish that through laws (ideally). Think it's okay to molest somebody? We have a law for that. Want to kill someone for their beliefs? We have a law for that. Enforcement is occasionally an issue but that problem lies with the police force and government, not multiculturalism itself.
