I agree, but it should be smaller scale, more evenly spread, carefully managed, and not involve impoverished/uneducated members of civilisations that are at odds with our own (chiefly: ‘the Muslim world’) or else you get
‘The Clash of Civlisations’, with disastrous consequences for
everyone (as we are starting to see in The West, as the whole thing unravels)
Naturally, pride is bad enough, but pride tinged with racism is absolutely revolting. That said, it is incumbent upon successful newcomers to act with grace and decency, just as it is for British ex-pats abroad. It's very unbecoming to rub anything in the faces of people in their own lands..

To be honest, no. My neighbours where I was living previously, with family, were foreign and there was a distinct lack of integration/social engagement, compared with what I was used to growing up. Part of the problem is the way we live these days – if we lived in this immersive, fluid communal society then I’m sure the lighter multicultural issues would be reduced but we don’t, we live in quite a rigid one, where spatial effects are significant
My parents are liberals, I was born xenophobic; racism never featured. Is this really what the world has come to: minorities calling for babies to be separated from their parents at birth so that they can be brainwashed by crypto-fascist ‘liberals’!? Is this what ‘tolerance’ gets us!?

Nope, see above. That said, many
would be more comfortable in these circumstances e.g. due to xenophobia/Islamophobia, although it’s also fair to say that these phobias are magnified by failed state multiculturalism/are lessened by successful efforts to integrate immigrants
