Not muslim specific but why do 'minorities' self segregate? It seems to me that the government wants integration but the migrant population doesn't want to. you cant simply transplant a section of a foreign culture into another and expect harmony. For some its too 'different' which i think is the cause of a lot of tension.
Why does a 'polish shop' have to have a sign that appears to exclude the native populace together with signs in a language that a majority dont understand, it seems provocative whether intentional or not.
im also well aware of british ex pats doing exactly the same thing in other countries so not excluding this too.
- It's human nature, we migrate to what feels safe and familiar. I don't like how all these hipsters dominate the coffee shops and breweries, but what can I do?formed
- Aye, the comfort in familiarity. Being a filthy immigrant myself, I can understand how easy it is to stay within your immediate language / cultural circle.face_melter
- Although, obviously, not to the same extent as coming from the Middle East or whatnot. I just hopped across from Scotland.face_melter
- wouldnt dispersal force integration?
as for face_melter away with you and your deep fried marsbars but we'll keep your shiskey loltrooperbill - British ex-patism disgusted me when I lived in Spain as a kid. I thought it a uniquely British arrogance. Then I moved back and saw everyone else doing it here.detritus
- One thing's having a temporary sense of home when you move, knowing you'll be going back in a few years (like most Brits abroad, Poles in Blighty)...detritus
- ..another is moving to another country and simply assuming you can transplant your entire culture too, with scant regard for the natives.detritus
- US has typically been a melting pot. even muslims eventually americanize.hotroddy
