Nothing inherently wrong with that line of text besides the KKK hashtag (a dead organization). All cultures should stand up for themselves, no? The average nationalist Jew in Israel says things much more extreme.

This implies that having other cultures around you somehow destroys your own culture, which it doesn’t

It certainly can when they become overwhelming. People are less likely to get involved in the community around them when it doesn't represent them, which results in things like lower societal cohesion. Less social trust; we've all seen this everyday. People would rather take a video of someone getting beat up than go to help them, risking their own skin. They do not identify with that person. They're just another body.

Things like not feeling represented in your own community due to the division leads to social isolation "at best" and extreme intolerance at worst.

Not everyone wants to identify with consumption which is what the multicultural world essentially demands. In egalitarianism your heritage, roots, genes are not very important. What "is" important is how much money you have, what you consume, the fleeting brands you like, etc.
