Doesnt sound as bad when the quote has context:

Multiculturalism is a concept that I’ve always had trouble with. I take the view that if people want to emigrate to a country, then they adopt the values and practices of that country, And in return they’re entitled to have the host citizenry respect their culture without trying to create some kind of federation of tribes and culture – you get into terrible trouble with that.”

I think one of the problems with multiculturalism is we try too hard to institutionalise differences, rather than celebrate what we have in [common].
