Please stop fetishising integration. Equality is what we really need

A decent job with a decent income is still the best path out of the
crudest forms of racism and fundamentalism

Where race is concerned there are, it seems, some words that just don't
go together. No matter how many young drunken white men beat each other
up over the weekend, there is no such thing as white-on-white crime. No
matter how many non-white people flee inner-city neighbourhoods for
better schools and services, there is no such thing as "black flight".
And no matter how bitter their ethnic divides, white people never
engage in "tribal conflict".

Right.
The whole concept of tolerance has become warped, it now means
accepting the other person after he/she becomes just like you, when it
should have been accepting the person for he/she is, just as he/she is.
