The older community not wanting to integrate is a combination of things they are very family orientated for starters, they also have larger families so more children/grandchildren, some don't speak English, observation of cultural beliefs, i work with two young muslim women one university educated who will only swim in sessions arranged for muslim females? its kind of no different to your average Paddy who came over here in the 50s and spent his time in Irish Clubs and bars to my mind but no one is having a fit about why that happened.
Do you honestly think the C4 docu would have aired in the States ? the American people wouldn't stand for it

Extreme views..So what was that about free speech, you're allowed free speech as long as you're a white American?
People are just as likely to be marginalised and disenfranchised there as here, they are as likely to be lured in by extremists or be affected by the bombing campaigns in Syria, Libya or Afghanistan that kill civilians.
We know why the Irish stuck together, because of the prejudice (it happens if you're white too allegedly)
The Americans stood for the KKK there are countless documentaries on them, and they've killed thousands over the years.
