I would absolutely hate to be stuck in a society that was not multicultural.
Imagine if EVERYONE in the country were Christian, or Muslim even. If a whole nation is one culture, it seems a little totalitarian, as one would not be able to speak out about flaws in the culture (leading to the culture becoming less effective at doing anything productive, basically it would become more and more delusional). The government would probably base laws on dogma instead of science and truth. It would be a disaster.
Imagine not agreeing with someone, but having no one to talk about it with because everyone else had the same beliefs.

As for the topic, it is not the western male that is being attacked but it is the racist/bigoted, sexist and stuck in the past male that feels they are under attack. They just cannot stand that the world is changing and they are no longer on top of the heap and cannot walk all over people the way they did before.

If your North American, your ancestors should not have settled in a country already occupied with people of a different culture if Multiculturalism was such a big deal nor should they have brought over slaves of different cultures. So if you don't like Multiculturalism, place the blame on your ancestors.Without the mixing of cultures mankind would not have gotten as far as it has because without the input of different cultures, who knows where mankind may have been. These "European culture is superior" people seem to forget that little tidbit.

All right, well they have been the primary oppressors in the Western world, in America, which is where I would like to focus because it is where I am from, blacks were originally brought in as slaves and Native Americans were killed off by smallpox and their land and natural resources were taken from them. As far as blacks go, they were given the right to vote later than whites, and women even later still.

Stereotyping. Very classy...
the aim is to destroy the Western traditional male because he had too many rights

The white males are the ones throughout history who have BEEN the oppressors, that's how come they aren't usually oppressed.
