is that it has had a dominant culture for a very long time, but has been able to tolerate other strains within it. This is something that's very unique. Most countries, if you're bringing in something else, it gets killed or you are forced to assimilate. It's not just allowed to be its own thing and just sit there.

And I think that that's something that's really special about a lot of Western culture. And it has allowed it to thrive and take the very best from what's all around the world. But the dominant culture has to be reinforced.
