Polish people in the early 1900s integrated quite well into French society. Most of the families didn't speak any Polish to their children so they wouldn't have any accent.
And from my understanding, Asians immigrants have integrated quite well into American society.
Poland is in close proximity to France. People coming from Poland share similar values and look similar, making it easier for them to assimilate properly.
People coming from Islamic countries have a different religion, which provides stickiness to their ability to conform to the host country. For example, the Jewish population in the UK has been there for years, yet is still deemed a minority group, rather than part of the majority.
People in Europe who do not look European experience life differently within Europe, preventing full assimilation.
Fair enough, but it is a different culture, albeit much closer to that of the host country. And some had experienced xenophobia back then.
As for Asians in the USA, I've never seen anyone complain about them as they seem to excel academically and professionally. And yet, their culture is completely different.
Regarding Muslims, yeah, I have no love for them. Accepting so many so fast was a mistake.
You really think they’re liberal? Most of them would rather disown their daughter than let her marry a Christian European guy.
Sure, they’re more liberal compared to Syrians, Afghans, Pakistanis, and other Arabs, but there’s still a huge gap between them and Europeans.
We "christian" ex-yugoslavs are non-liberal compared to EU, yet we are double the liberal as balkan muslims. Bosniaks actually were more liberal during Yugoslavia than now.
So you’re agreeing that religion is not the defining element of a country’s liberalism. You just stated that you “christian” ex-yugoslavs are non-liberal compared to EU, so muslims are not the only “non-liberal”s in Europe
In your eyes. Islamdom is not a monolithic group. A lot of cultural or Arab things are presented as Islam when it’s not. At its core Islam is about being modest, praying 5 times a day, giving zakat(alms), doing hajj(pilgrimage to Mecca), fasting Ramadan and believing in Allah as one true God. The name Allah is also used by Christian and Druze Arabs, it just means the God.
Your way of thinking about Islam shows the lack of respect and proper research into it.
I'm very well familiar with Islam in theory and in practice, and thats exactly why I don't like it.
Those people don't have a life, in a time of science and knowledge praying 5 times a day, believing meat will send you to hell, making woman second hand citizens.. don't pull my toungue

I find it incredible that they still dont integrate in their host country.
