it's not at all easy to detach your self from the old ways, especially when inside your house your parents feel more comforatable speaking Urdu or whatever, and you've group up on the old ways becuase it's whata your parents grew up on.
So mixing wont happen over night (it's gradual), but's not a cancerous growth as some poeple make out to be. To be honest, that's how new things become part of the culture....
I mean really trivial things show that not only are the asains mixing, but also some of their ways are being accepted. Things like takeaways, the most popular take aways are things like Tandoori Chicken, Samosas, Vindaloo (well, curries in general), but back in the 50's and 60's the english born poeple were complaining of the smell of it.

I hear what your saying, but i dont think jews voting for a guy who said that the holocuast was a "detail" in history is really the smartest thing to do.
Vandalisim: where i live, it's a nice quiet area, no vandalism, no smashed windows etc etc. If you take a 10 minute cycle in to the St Giles estate, all of a sudden you see little kids out playing in the street (when they should be at school), Burnt out cars, Windows boarded up with plywood, etc etc, and i really wouldn't go there at night.
If there was mosque in St giles, it would probably be vandalised, and not really be the most welcoming of places. Does it mean that this is a predominantly white christain problem? or is it poverty and urban decay?
