Christmas Special
Christmas Shopping in Multicultural Hell
Aric Kartman

Like many suburban kids, I spent a lot of time at the mall. There was one in particular in a neighboring suburb that I went to more than any other. As a child, I would accompany my parents and grandparents while they did their shopping, all the while doing my best to divert them into the toy sections of Gimbel’s, Boston Store, Sears, and the other department stores. I could usually finagle a G.I. Joe figure or some other small toy out of these trips, in exchange for my being reasonably well-behaved and putting up with being dragged along through endless aisles of clothes, appliances, and other things that mean absolutely nothing to a six year-old.
As I got older, and became less interested in toys and more interested in girls, the mall was still the place to be. My friends and I started going there in the evenings, first on the bus and then driving just as soon as one of us had access to a car, and we did our best to act cool and impress the girls from other schools that we met there. Mall security was not terribly fond of us, but we never did anything too out of line.
Our neighborhood mall used to be pretty nice. It’s always catered more to working and lower-middle class people, and so it’s never been upscale, but back in the 70s and 80s it was kind of a community hub for several of the outlying suburbs. It was a popular spot for senior citizens, who would go there in the mornings and often spend the whole day socializing and getting exercise by walking around the mall. They didn’t add a “food court” — those obnoxious fast food dystopias that are now ubiquitous at malls everywhere — until the late 80s, and so the food options were instead the lunch counter at Woolworth’s or the handful of restaurants scattered throughout the mall, some of which were located inside the large department stores, like cities within cities.
I’ve long since moved away from my old stomping grounds, and I did finally outgrow hanging out at malls, but the other day I had occasion to visit the old neighborhood mall again to do some Christmas shopping with my mother. Somehow, somewhere in the course of the last fifteen years or so, the place has become multicultural hell.
As we stood in line waiting to check out at one of the stores, the Mexican father behind us loudly spoke Spanish to his rambunctious children. When we got to the counter, the polite but incompetent young South Asian checkout guy fumbled around with the scanner and the register, perhaps still learning the ropes on his first day of work or something.
Outside the store in the main mall was a diverse palette of human colors, not like a rainbow or a pretty flower garden, but rather like a Jackson Pollock painting – a chaotic, violent assortment of blacks, browns, yellows and whites, speaking different dialects or even different languages, and having no common culture save for base consumerism. No one group was numerically dominant – whites and Mexicans were probably the two biggest groups — and no one seemed especially comfortable.
Coldly surveying the whole scene from a second-floor balcony was a police officer, obviously ex-military, armed with a Glock 9mm pistol.
Welcome to the future. What was once a decent place that served a real role for a community is now just an economic zone where strangers exchange money and goods. There’s no point trying to strike up a conversation with your neighbor in line, because he doesn’t even speak the same language as you. (Fortunately for him, many of the stores now have bilingual signs.) Does the store really expect me to get in the holiday spirit when I’m wished “Merry Christmas” by an immigrant who neither celebrates Christmas in his native country nor speaks my language well enough to say it properly?
My mom and I left the mall and walked back to our car in the parking lot, not saying much. Finally I said, “It sure has changed a lot since I was a kid.”
“Yeah,” she said. “It’s just that . . .” She struggled with the words for a moment, trying to express her feelings but also suppressing them somewhat. “Where did all those people come from? So many of them don’t even speak English. I don’t mean to sound bitter, but … Yes, actually I do mean to sound bitter because I am. It’s nothing personal against anyone, but what the hell happened?”
I knew exactly what she meant, of course. White people in America are taught that any desire on their part for a traditional, homogeneous community is morally wrong — somehow an affront to the rights and dignity of others. And so they remain silent while this kind of displacement and deconstruction goes on all around them, suppressing their natural feelings which tell them the truth about it.
The truth is that such a desire is present in all peoples, and is natural and good. The truth is that none of us are better off in multicultural hell, because cultural bonding only occurs between individuals within a common culture, not between different cultures.
People in multicultural hell are not as at ease as they were in traditional cultures, because they do not have the same bonds of trust and affection between one another. So everyone just wanders around the global mall, half trepidacious and half numb, trying in vain to make themselves feel good about life by buying more useless crap.
I had a good conversation with my mom about the politics behind these changes, and explained the 1965 Immigration and Nationality Act to her. In many ways, my mother is entirely typical of white Americans, in that she doesn’t bear any particular grudge towards immigrants or non-whites, and certainly doesn’t want any innocent people harmed in any way. But at the same time, she knows in her heart that her country — her neighborhood — is being changed beyond recognition, and it feels wrong.
No one ever consulted her about it. She never had the chance to vote on it one way or another. And now she doesn’t know what to do about it or even what to say about it, because no one in the mainstream media will so much as mention it. So she goes about her life, maybe letting slip the occasional racial slur among close friends, almost as a way to relieve a little of the pressure — the bitterness — that keeps building up as the situation gets worse and worse.
Conventional thought holds that people like my mom are evil. Her inability to bask in the wonders of diversity clearly indicates that she wants to enslave Africans, stone homosexuals, roast Jews in ovens (then deny it), and probably even take away her own right to vote, being a woman and all. But she doesn’t want to do any of that and she’s not evil. She just wants to be left in peace among people she feels kinship with, and wishes the same for everybody else.
Santa, if you’re listening, please give my mom what she wants for Christmas. And please get all these minorities out of my mall.

Yet another ignorant person failing to understand and cope with his growing irrelevance in an advancing society. Multiculturalism is necessary, without it America would not survive and would become a wasteland like Nazi Germany, and your hate filled ignorant dribble cannot do a single thing to stop it.
Does it make you mad that your great grandchildren will almost certainly look nothing like you? They will be browner, stronger, smarter, and immune from racism.
It doesn’t matter. You are ugly and your soul is shit. We are beautiful and so is the expression of our soul. Even if you succeed and destroy us, you lose and we win. Why? Because we are us. You can never take that away from us. We will always be us and you will always be you. It must be very sad for you.
Here is what anti-White Aaron is really saying …
Anti-Whites say there should be no White Countries ✓
Anti-Whites say there should be no White Towns ✓
Anti-Whites say there should be no White Neighbourhoods ✓
Anti-Whites say there should be no White Schools✓
Anti-Whites say there should be no White Classes ✓
Anti-Whites say there should be no White Sports ✓
Anti-Whites say there should be no White Anything ✓
Anti-Whites say there should be no Whites
Anti racism is a code word for anti White.
You are pointing out the obvious that multi-culturalism is just a suppression of white people and their culture. Its really about white genocide.
Only a jew would say NS Germany was a “wasteland.” Jews promote Die-Versity as a way to sheild themselves against the pograms they deserve for what they inflict on European derived people the world over.
Please explain why multiculturalism (another word for diversity) is necessary.
Also explain why La Raza, the NAACP, the Urban League, the Congressional Black Caucus, et al are necessary. These are hardly multicultural organizations.
Mr.Bergenstein,with a name like yours I suppose you both support the idea of a multicultural West AND a monocultural Israel (the usual double standard of Jews).Why not be consistent and advocate for a multicultural Israel too?For starters,allow the immigration of millions of descendents of those Palestinians who were ETHNICALLY CLEANSED when the Jewish state was founded (does the term “nakba” ring a bell?).Then there are all kinds of refugees who would like to enter Israel,especially from Black Africa.Israel NEEDS more Blacks to become truely multicultural.Accept millions of Blacks from the Sudan and Somalia.The Somalians will add more spice to the multicultural stew with their violent street gangs!Then there are the Thai and Filipino guest workers who would like to stay also.Accept them with open arms!Then start a vigorous campain in the media to promote MISCEGENATION (a thing you Jews are so good at in the West).When the majority of the population consists of MONGRELS you will have your multicultural Utopia free from Nazi-like Jewish exclusivism.There will be no more Jews,nobody will speak Hebrew anymore and synagogues will be replaced with mosques,but in return you will have got the whole world!Celebrate the coming of your mulatto grand children,free from any form of racism!Hallelujah!
Aaron, On the off chance that this is a real post, I will respond. You obviously miss the point that none of the groups mentioned in the article are better off in this consumer-communist hell, because “multiculturalism” is a misnomer that actually describes: 1) anti-white displacement policies, but also 2) the destruction and leveling down of all traditional cultures to a level of base consumerism. Your zeal for your PC ideals actually betrays a lack of concern for real, living beings. This is entirely typical of the PC Left – they accuse the Right of being hateful, when all too often it’s the “anti-racists” who are foaming at the mouth.
As for your brown utopian fantasy, show me the scientific evidence that this future super-race will be “browner and smarter.” All available evidence thus far suggests otherwise. As for being browner and immune from racism, that must be why blacks and Latinos get along so well in California and everywhere else. I hear that the members of the Bloods, Crips, and MS-13 all get together after school and sing Bob Marley songs together. It’s only the mean ole whites who refuse to participate.
I have doubts wheter you are a real jew or just somebody trying to play a yoke. But let’s pretend you are for real. Isn’t your desperate longing for white peoples grandchildren to look nothing like us the most vile and hateful racism? And by the way, I wouldn’t never recognize any grandchildren that wasn’t white.
“RACISM is just an attack word, carefully sharpened in the hands of the ANTI-WHITES, those who support white genocide based upon the policy of AFRICA FOR AFRICANS, ASIA FOR ASIANS AND WHITE COUNTRIES FOR EVERYONE. Its a program to force immigration against the wishes of the white people, forced integration leading to assimilation and eventual extinction of white people. Its racist not to support this policy.”
Obvious troll is obvious
Pardon me, jewish Bergenstein, but to suggest that Nazi Germany was a wasteland is hilarious beyond words. Hitler took the failing, jewish created Weimar Republic and introduced economic and social reforms that SAVED Germany from becoming the failed economic state that the US is becoming today, also a creation of jewish economic and speculative practices.
If your jewish liberal economic system is so great, why is it failing in every nation it’s being applied in? If we truly needed mass immigration to build and maintain our nations, why haven’t we needed it in the past, when our nations were forged and built to the standards you enjoy today by all white hands?
THEIR GOAL IS GENOCIDE. OURS. WHAT’S YOURS?
aaron bergenstein in blockquote:
Why is it the government of Israel is shipping so very many of their blacks back to Africa?
Why doesn’t the government of Israel want for Israel what they want for America?
Obviously, the Israel policy is:
Africa for the Africans
Asia for the Asians
White Countries for Everybody
In a word, GENOCIDE. The genocide of the White Race.
What can we DO about that? Glad you asked.
Have I introduced you to the works of a Mr. Harold Covington?
What’s In YOUR Future? Focus Northwest!
Covington I know, but I think the NW is a little small for our people. We should claim the best land. I think 40 % of the California population (mexes) will flee south when white rise up when the MANTRA starts being riveted into the minds of normal white people. No Alamo minded people please. We will take the best and leave the rest.
bergenstein? jewish? I can understand how multi-cult is good for you and your people but how about white people? The white genocide meme is good for white people because it focuses the mind on what is happening to them. Trillions of good dollars spent on the massive re-ed of whites is going up in smoke when the meme – AFRICA FOR AFRICNAS, ASIA FOR ASIANS, AND WHITE COUNTRIES for everyone is used? Why? the statement of the obvious. People wake up from their programming. In the long run, those who were invovled in this plot will face the consequences and that is not good for you or your people (even the innocent ones).
Great article, lots of quotable lines. No matter where we go how far into the exburbs we retreat, the diversity always finds us. They love to live around us.
Everyone is looking around their town wondering- how the hell did this happen?? No one wanted it. There is going to be hell to pay when the rest of the public realizes who did it and why. Diversity didn’t just magically appear.
Africa for Africans, Asia for Asians, White countries for everyone thanks to people with last names like “Bergenstein”. Note that Mr. Bergenstein throws out the usual platitude “multiculturalism is necessary” without really explaining to us WHY it is necessary. He blathers about Nazis and wastelands and tosses out tired old taunts and insults. I think that Mr. Bergenstein is angry. He smells what we smell and that smell is The Race Card burning…
A Nation is being born before his very eyes. A White Nation. A Terrible Beauty. He doesn’t like it. Of course. So what? Who asked him?
Mr. Kartman;
I have two gifts you can pass along to your mother. They are weapons, weapons to be understood and used.
The first is a link to a set of “talking points”, talking points that cut to the heart of the anti-White narrative, and can be used both as “attackbacks”, and as a means for your mother to understand.
http://www.whitakeronline.org/blog/topic/mini-mantras/#post-13762
Just tell her to go to the above link and cut/paste all of the comments by “Scythian” into a document for easy off-line reading. Or you could do this for her, print it out, and give it to her.
The second link is to a sound file, a fascinating sound file about how to “fight back” against the demoralizing programming that’s affected her.

It’s wild and fun!
ABSOLUTELY RIGHT!
Thank you. BTW it’s happening all over the world, and in S. Amer. too. The immigrants of all kinds, come in, and the local, Native born, are left out in the cold.
We’re almost to the point, where this will be stopped….by the locals,themselves!
Funny but I could sense the underlying anger of both the innocent mother and author of this article. “Somehow, somewhere in the course of the last fifteen years or so, the place has become multicultural hell.” Like a Mexican Piñata this globe is literally imploding with people. Physical and cultural boarders are not immune of the cancer of mixed race and languages which are diluting a once homogeneous society. Some day perhaps even hell won’t be big enough to hold this Babylon.
without it America would not survive and would become a wasteland like Nazi Germany
This sounds like a threat. Remember who declared war on Germany in 1933. Some wanted Germany utterly destroyed (Morgenthau). We will be bombed like Dresden for not going along?
If we do go along America will become a wasteland- in fact it already is.
Mr. Kartman, I certainly see the point of your article. Still, I can’t help but think that even the content little world you described from the 70s and 80s was already pretty pathetic. Or maybe I should say soulless. It sounds like you were already well down the road to full-on commercialization. I know I sure wouldn’t want the life you described.
I guess I was lucky to grow up in a small town without a mall. Instead, I had a massive extended family, many of whom lived within walking distance. We had fields, creeks, barns, trees, hills and railroad tracks to explore. We could either bike or walk into town and knew many of the people we were likely to encounter.
Sadly, most of us and the next generation have been fed into the Machine like fresh hamburger and live isolated lives in different parts of the country. And we’re seeing the same “diversification” of the country that you describe, but we’re in no position to do anything about it. Perhaps with me as the exception, everyone else responds just like your mother does. No one asked us to give our country away.
Welcome to the next Third-World Hellhole!
America and it’s traditional lifestyle and values are gone, all that is left is the memory of Christmases past and the constant reminder of how and WHO did this to us.
When the SHTF, they all will pay…and it is coming soon, a lot sooner than they realize.
Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year to all.
May the next year be the year that the SHTF and we can once more get this country back on track!
Name ONE civilization that ‘multiculturalism’ has built or strengthened.
Multiculturalism only destroys the host culture. Africa for Africa, Asians for Asia and White nations for everybody?
Anti-racist is a codeword for anti-White.
aaron bergenstein: “Does it make you mad that your great grandchildren will almost certainly look nothing like you? They will be browner, stronger, smarter, and immune from racism.”
The “anti-racist” aaron succinctly points out that multiCULTism is NOT “dispossession” (as the author states), it IS geNOcide, White geNOcide! They say they are “anti-racist”, what they are is anti-White. Anti-racist is a code word for anti-White.
Everyone talks about this RACE problem and says that this RACE problem will be over when the third world pours into EVERY White country and ONLY into White countries. Everyone says the final solution to this RACE problem is for EVERY White country and ONLY White countries to “assimilate,” that is, intermarry, with all those non-Whites. According to the UN, this is genocide. They claim they are anti-racist, but what they are is anti-White. Anti-racist is a code word for anti-White.
Excellent article.
Massive non-white immigration and “assimilation” is only pushed on white countries.
Let us ask the anti-whites: Why whites must agree to and celebrate our genocide,while the non-white world does not agree to or celebrate their genocide?
Anti-racist is a code word for anti-white.
Doesn’t this point towards the essential internal contradiction underlying this piece?
The notion that a shopping mall can serve a real role for a community is in and of itself a bogus concept. A community that needs to rely upon a temple of materialist consumerism as a place for its young people to congregate is rotten at heart, and it is completely unsurprising that it would be overwhelmed in due course by the incoming multihued hordes, the barriers to entry being so feeble.
The only surprise is that it should be any surprise.
Market places have been centers of community throughout history. White people will humanize and civilize even shopping malls, until the unruly dusky hordes show up.
Modern life is stressful enough without the need to adapt to any group of humanoids that just show up in the USA FOR OUR CULTURAL BENEFITS and our weLfare sharing program.
Thieves often blame their victims for some depravity in order to justify their theft, hence the racist name calling of white people. My experience is that these non-whites hold a great resentment below and above the surface for imagined wrongs of White People against them.
So should we just step aside and let them steal all we have without even a thank you?
The most obvious statement of this obvious reality is AFRICA FOR AFRICANS, ASIA FOR ASIANS, WHITE COUNTRIES FOR EVERYONE. In other words a future with fewer and fewer white people in it. WAKE UP WHITE PEOPLE, RESIST AND PUSH BACK A LITTLE before its too late.
Brown people are the best red pills. The more exposure white people have with them – the more they realize the profound differences between them and us.
