If there's one thing history tells us, it's that this is going to end very badly. This is why multiculturalism never works.

Nothing new there. It has been like that since the 1960s. Same in France or Germany or other countries which have experienced immigration.

Interestingly, mass immigration was originally a Conservative policy and has been followed by all the major political parties.

Creates a lot of ebb and flow from extreme left to extreme right also. That's probably why Europe will always remain a volatile and violent continent, far more than the US.

Same way in the states. Got the black side of town, the white side of town and now, the mexican side of town. Of course there's people of all ethnic groups in all of these areas but they're still predominantly one racial group with a sprinkle of other groups in there.

I dunno people generally want to live amongst people similar to themselves..I guess it's human nature.

It was the same years ago. You had Italian neighborhoods, Irish neighborhoods, etc. etc.

It was easier for Irish and Italians to blend in with the rest of white america though.

Blacks on the other hand do not have that luxury because you can't hide your appearance.

Irish were HEAVILY discriminated against, especially for work, for many many decades.

Multiculturalism works just fine. What does not work is poverty and lack of opportunity. Assimilation occurs when the immigrant group is given and takes the chance to raise their standard of living to middle class levels. But bigoted conservatives in the US and other countries systematically deny that opportunity to people based on color and religion and thereby guarantee never-ending poverty and the crime and social discord it breeds.
