Also, this, and the recent story about Muslims in Texas, do an excellent job of showing that integration is a lie, if you important people in anything but tiny numbers. If you have a "Muslim community" or an "Indian community," well...yeah, damn straight they're going to view themselves as Other, instead of integrating. They'll police/bully their own, and they'll try to dominate the natives, too, if they think they can get away with it.
A good friend of mine is Indian. Her parents moved to the US right before she was born, so she grew up entirely in the US.
K-12 she attended a school in which she was one of the only Indian kids. She hung out mostly with white kids. When she went to college, all of a sudden, there was a large Indian population, and that became her entire social circle. This was a group of Indians who grew up mostly in the US. Zero white friends in undergrad! She also got more religious and started wearing a headscarf which she never did before college.
Ultimately, her parents took on her several trips back to India, she got an arranged marriage, and is now married with two kids. I haven't spoken to her in about 10 or 12 years.
This is natural and it makes sense. People aggreggate to like people. People hang out with people with shared culture, shared experiences, and shared perspectives.
The only mystery is why some people can't understand this?
White people don't think about our heritage. Even Americans don't really rally around American identity much less our traditional European roots. It's the tabula rasa mindset in the modern west killing us
This. Outside of some people who are super proud to be of German or Irish or whatever heritage, nobody in America celebrates their heritage and all act as some sort of mud white. America seems to have been tailor made to destroy European/ white ethnic roots and traditions.
The only mystery is why some people can't understand this?
Their own personal situation is so shit that "culture" looks the same, from their perspective, as any random fiction. Nothing but a story people tell to pacify the discontent.
