Ghettos of the mind / The Economist, 8 Sep 2005

"Immigration and population growth have obscured the progress of some Pakistanis and Bangladeshis and made them vulnerable to accusations that they do not wish to live among whites. That is unfortunate at a time when Muslims have become associated with extremism. The new arrivals have some advantages, though: they have pushed up the price of housing, helping the better-off to escape the ghetto."
