That’s just idealist bullshit which I say as an idealist. You are fighting natural forces that will always win. You are making things worse. You are creating cultural conflict and racial tension with your misguided ideology. The damage is and will be immense.
Have you really never considered what “clash of cultures” means? Some cultures are diametrically opposed to one another. Here is an example you should be able to understand. Consider the culture in the West, where women are given autonomy over their lives, they have, at least, equal rights to men. Rape and murder of women is considered bad. Meanwhile in places like Africa and the Middle East oftentimes the local culture is the complete opposite. Women are controlled, what they wear, what they are allowed to do, where they can go. When women in those places misbehave they can expect a beating or rape or even be killed (for the family’s honor of course). When people from those cultures come to the West they don’t suddenly forget those beliefs, morals, norms they grew up in. Eventually that leads to a clash of cultures where one group believes things should be run one way and another group believes it should be done another. This can of course become violent.
You cannot cite diametrically opposed viewpoints as evidence of a whole. The human experience is varied throughout the world. Of course, the example you give is reprehensible, but that is not the norm either is it? This is an intellectually dishonest argument.
A certain amount of assimilation is necessary if people emigrate to America, It happened with your family, it happened in the last 60 years with mine. Hiding malignant racism behind the term "clash of cultures" is just one way to mask what the hate.
You disregard my argument, minimize it, call me intellectually dishonest then start on going on about “hate?” You’re a hypocrite. My family assimilated because while European cultures are diverse they are far less opposed, far more compatible together than a European culture is with one from Africa.

Why do you hate? That is the real question.
