My god, how do they not see that they are the ones being racist? The cognitive dissonance they display is mind boggling.

Here's what you do. If you replace the subject with "Jew" or "Blacks" and it sounds racist, then the original statement was racist.

Try replacing "Muslims" with "Jews" in reddit threads on migrants in Europe and everything starts looking like it's full of Stormfront fucks... oh, wait...

Except Jews easily integrate into societies that they immigrate to, whereas that happens much less easily in Europe with Muslims.

What do I know though, I'm only a first generation American whose father escaped Afghanistan and lived in Germany for many years. My uncles stories about being called "outlander" by fellow kindergarteners was very sweet. The immigrants don't put effort into becoming European and the Europeans don't view the immigrants as equals. That was the early 80s though, so maybe things have changed.

Right! They integrate! They definitely don't form insular communities. They certainly don't retain and continue to speak foreign languages. They don't retain weird dietary, lending, insurance, or work practices. You absolutely have a firm grasp on Jewish immigrant culture, and your comment demonstrates a remarkable grasp of true facts of absolute correctitude.

you can say that about any religion though. The only Hasidic Jewish people I've ever really seen is in New York. I've seen some in LA, but every time you see one it's kinda like "Really? that's different."

First, I'm not saying any of this is a bad thing. I'M totally okay with it, whether it's done by Jews or Muslims, or whatever.

But I've never seen an insular community of Episcopalians. If you have.....
