Well, it is bigoted, but at same time cultural clashes can be unsettling for some people. Its an oversimplification to reduce just to religion.
There are places where people celebrate each other’s cultures rather than make it a cultural clash. That does require a bit of maturity from everyone. But it’s way more pleasant than even having a uniform culture.
It does - and might be more possible with a little bit of help from the media and government, who instead pour fuel on the fire for political gain.
It’s a very difficult topic, however.
My parter and i are different races, but culturally English - we were both born here. Our mixed race son goes to school in the suburbs that is about 70% or 80 % white - which is representative of the local demographic.
I have white friends in the inner city where that ratio is reversed and many immigrants don’t have great English and are just beginning their integration journey.
I’m honest enough to say I wouldn’t be comfortable with that. I don’t know if I should be or not .
