"In general, Europe, which has never developed an immigration culture, seems to have been less successful than the United States at integrating foreigners and giving them a stake in a new national identity.
At the same time, European immigrants seem to have been less eager than immigrants to the United States to take on a new identity, instead adhering to their traditional identities, languages and customs for generation after generation.
'One of the greatest dishonesties of European policy and intellectual discourse,' the Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung said Monday, 'has been that multicultural issues can be discussed only in one direction - the 'accepting society.' Whoever calls on the immigrants themselves to integrate better is seen as a nationalist monster who lacks 'openness.' '"
