no.. i'm from south florida. i grew up in a multicultural society. one where haitians, jamacans, cubans, puerto ricans, mexican, guatemalans, black americans, white americans all existed in close proximity. the result? you get neighborhoods which are haitian, neighborhoods which are mexican, neighborhoods which are black, etc.

But this is common knowledge wherever immigrants go, it's obvious due to their situation that they're going to where immigrants of their own kind exist. Some will remain in these ghettos but others will move on and assimilate, it's all part of the assimilation process, for some its quite quick and for others it can take a generation or two.

keep in mind all of these people come from relatively similar cultures in comparison to europe vs asia or north africa... and even so there is ethnic tension. guatemalans were often targeted by black gangsters for robberies and were generally looked down upon. black american gangs and haitian gangs would shoot eachother up despite both being black. mexicans and puerto ricans and cubans etc similarly didn't always get along with eachother.

What makes you think that their cultures are more similar than those of North Africa, parts of Asia and Europe? Latin America is well known for its gang culture and turf wars anyway, all that's happened is that it's just been transported to your country as the Italians did in the 1920s and 1930s.

worthless dismissal with no substance. provide some historical precedents, then.

So you really don't think nationalists would ever use this kind of rhetoric?

yea... but if the culture in question is incompatible with that of the host country then they shouldn't be importing that culture in the first place.

Nonsense and that statement alone shows that a person like you really has no concept of what immigration is all about. The whole process of immigration is difficult by nature, it only becomes easier when the people are moving from complete freedom of choice.

no, i haven't been to europe. i've been up and down the east coast of the united stated. i've talked to quite a few people from your country who share this point of view, and i try to keep up on international affairs. i assume you similarly have opinions about american politics.

Well if you're going to speak to people with similar views as yourself, they're going to share your minimalistic viewpoints...... obvious innit,

it's a hypothetical situation... basically an analogy. failing to entertain the hypothetical is a sign of a lack of intelligence.

I agree because when you're not trolling, you're normally spouting out this kind of bollocks concerning immigrants, the whole topic seems to be your trigger point for trolling, so yer I guess entertaining you here is a lack of intelligence on my part, but I guess somebody has to try and rebuke you...........
