    This is more the way i would like it to work, rather than what we see in practice.

    There are three broad ways of doing things:

    One extreme - normative multiculturalism with parallel communities. (Britain)
    The other extreme - you are french¬!!!! with ghettoes for those that haven't become french enough. (France)
    A happy medium - the melting pot - if 10% of the pop are immigrants, the natives become 10% foriegn and the immigrants 90% american. (USA)

    That is obviously simplifying things greatly, but i think both Britain and France could do with a closer look at the melting pot idea.
