From Norway and Denmark comes four Realizations the will affect America.
The First Realization was the early, naïve belief that all migrants would naturally assimilate into European society. The Second Realization was that deliberate integration policies were required for many immigrants to adapt successfully. The Third Realization, as Frederik Vad, a Social Democrat member of the Danish parliament, recently admitted, is that some citizens with ethnic-minority backgrounds are now undermining democracy from within. The Fourth Realization, most recently articulated by Eva Selsing in the Danish newspaper Berlingske, goes further still: The entire experiment has failed. Integration has proven an illusion, and only repatriation, not further social engineering, can preserve Europe’s civilization.
**********************************
For those who recognize the principles of America within those realizations, we have changed course from full-on racial integration to Single Race Ghettos. American culture sort of worked it out on the fly that saw neighborhoods cater to a specific race. In my native Philadelphia the area of South Philly was for Italians. Fishtown for the Polish. North Philly for Blacks. It wasn’t planned that way but that’s the way it happened because there are far too many differences between the races to allow multiculturism to work on any large scale. Sure we can all shop together at the local WalMart. We can attend sporting events as a nation but on the granular level we are too different to completely assimilate. Europe is proving just that on a very small scale. While we can smash the races together in, for example, public schools, notice that at recess the students mostly self-segregate into their race based groups.
