Re: Dublin throws diverse St. Patrick parade
Anyway, the loss of cultural specificities is a widespread phenomenon all over Europe. For example, nowadays almost all local customs concerning All Saints Day have disappeared, in favour of Halloween with its pumpkins and jack-o-lanterns. It is not even the original Celtic culture, but some sort of American commercialized variety. This is a kind of multiculturalism, cultural imperialism and globalization too.
You are right, Aptrgangr. These things must be protested against as well.
