But in the US all these cultures have to coexist under a single system. In Europe, yes, if you at it as the European Union, of course you have multiculturalism rampant. But when you look countries just as countries (which is how they operate in many levels) you see more homogeneous results. Yes, there is multiculturalism in Spain, Switzerland, etc, but even there you see a sort of territorial division on pair to the cultural one (current waves of migration notwithstanding). The two world wars had a lot to owe to ethnic chaos and their results are basically territories more or less homogeneous (more or less). In the US things are different. You are trying to apply a big gigantic government to a fully heterogeneous population. It's different from the European Union, a somewhat economical but never cultural union really. Or am I terribly wrong? (as always) 
Of course multiculturalism exists across national borders and always has done, but the mecahnisms that created the racial multiculturalism in the USA also exist within national borders in Europe. Each nation within Europe has its own ethic component, often based upon (or stemming from) the old collonial systems, but in recent times due to the changing border regulations created by the European Union. As try as I might, I cannot see how " a big gigantic government " is to blame for racial hate crime.
