Integration to me is being tolerant of difference within different cultures residing alongside one another, respecting those difference (whether you personally agree to them or not). Sadly most people think integration means 'become one of us'. There should be no difference which to me states intolerance.

I see intolerance in the UK - anything different to the culture here, its like people cannot comprehend! I also experience a hint of conceit. Their way is the best.

Totally different experience in states ... California is very multicultural and people generally accept you for who you are. They don't have a preconceived idea of what one should be like. But I guess that would be due to the vast number of different cultures that one cannot really dominate?
