I am almost innured to typos. My eyes slide over them like a slug over broken glass. I couldn't read most people's writing otherwise. Syntax and grammar have to be seriously corrupt to get to me. My own typos are another matter. Those really bug me.

For what it's worth, I had to hunt yours down assiduously. It slid neatly by three times before I found it. Innured to typos. Yup. Guess so.

I agree with you about rap lyrics and sexism/genderism.

To tack on an analogy, consider grammar. The orthodox view is that grammar is prescriptive, that it describes the way language should be used. A more liberal view is that grammar is descriptive -- that it describes the way language is used and that it changes as the language changes.

In an odd way, my take on multiculturalism is similar. It should be used with a descriptive approach. Learn other cultures. Understand them. Accept interesting practices. Nevertheless, do not refrain from judging and urging for change after having done so.

Cultures are living tapestries. Arguing for a peculiar laissez-faire cultural non-interventionism because of the virtues of multiculturalism is no wiser than arguing for laissez-faire non-interventionism because of the virtues of capitalism. Coca Cola will defile cultures whether we intervene or not, and intervention is not inherently harmful.
