Exactly c.j.
Multicultural society will only work if neighbourhoods become multicultural. Not 'White only', Muslim only', Mexican only', Black only' or 'Korean only' neighbourhoods.
Of course, most people don't want to live in a multicultural society, even though governments say they do. If they did then we wouldn't have ghettos would we?
To be honest I'd hate to live in a 'White only' neighbourhood. I like the diversity. One colour is boring! Nobody has the same colour carpet or wallpaper in every room of the house do they? !laugh!
I do however see the downside to the -part- multicultural societies we have today, where we mostly live in tiny islands within big cities, and it's unfair that people cannot seem to discuss these tricky topics sensibly without either saying something dumb, or being taken as having hidden racist agendas.
What hope is there of discussing problems and fears between cultures, if people are frightened to speak out in case they're labelled racist or a troublemaker?
Just like every devout Muslim, with a beard, seems to be treated as a terrorist these days, every White person is deemed racist just for questioning his countries policy on immigration. It's generalisation from all sides and no one seems to get the benefit of the doubt anymore.
As for the sort of job you'd get over here c.j. It really is about qualifications over here, and not colour. Regardless of what you read on these forums, the UK is the most broad minded, and least racist country in Europe. For real.
Mind you, it's damn expensive and the weather's shite! !rant!
