Just another example
Cause I'm sure the Israelites of the Old Testament have had an unchanged culture throughout the last few thousand years. Unless you consider simply the continued observance of holidays to be the benchmark of multiculturalism. There are very few groups besides the Jews that illustrate just how much being influenced by majority cultures can irrevocably and intensely alter culture. I mean, they come from the Middle East, and yet all the Jews I've known might as well be Anglo-Saxon Protestants.
