Fair point.That's more a reflection of anglo-saxon post-colonial culture which is heavily into racial and social segregation.
Let's be honest, I see a lot of americans complain about niggers but they wouldn't be hood rats if they weren't in hoods in the first place. If you put a bunch of poor, unaducated people segregated, what kind of culture do you think will emerge in there?
Crux of the issue is assimilation. A lot of racial tension in america could've easily been solved with assimilating blacks in the american society as opposed to segregating them. As long as the ''civilized'' portion of society is the majority, people will assimilate to that.
How do I know that? Just go to any other western country with a significant black population. Black people in Germany, although few, don't behave like animals, as in North America. Turks and Arabs here do, though. Although in this case it's not Germany's fault, religion plays a huge role in how well someone can assimilate into a culture too (and muslim and christian societies are completely different).
But percentage matters. Once a race is a significant percentage of the population they will form communities. And they will have their own culture.
Assimilation works best when you're dealing with smaller percentages.
