Some Westerners - "Ugh I hate when immigrants don't integrate!"
Also some Westerners - *to immigrants, and their children* "You're not really British/American/[insert Western nationality], fuck off home"

"Ironically like the nativist far-Right, which despises multiculturalism, but benefits from its ideas of difference to scapegoat the other and to promote its own white identity politics; these postmodernists, leftists, feminists and liberals also use multiculturalism, to side with the oppressor, by demanding respect and tolerance for oppression characterised as 'difference', no matter how intolerable." - Maryam Namazie
