Are you confusing "white" culture, for western culture, and yes, there are aspects of western culture that should not be sacrificed in the name of multiculturalism, like free speech, pluralism, religious freedom, etc. I don't think anyone has issues with immigration as long as the immigrant adopts the culture here, and does not try to make their new place be more like back home and imposes their old culture on the new area to in an effort to respect their heritage, when the cultural values back home are half the reason things were so bad there. America is made up of immigrants of multiple races, but at some point we all agreed to adopt the values of the nation we lived in, the issue comes with those that want to impose their conservative or traditional values from back home on the society they moved to, including their prejudices, views on the value of women, etc. They come here for all the great opportunities, but they don't want to give up the things and attitudes that are incompatible with our cultural values or possibly part of the problems they had back home to begin with.

NYC and Toronto are success stories in multiculturalism, where people come, become educated, and integrate into the local culture, but ethnic/cultural enclaves that have been forming in cities overseas are not (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y9r6ZCwQxZk).
