I'd like to include Robert Walpole.

I am strongly opposed to the capitalist system and its exploitative nature, but not all Jews are evil, corrupt capitalists. Many of them are good people.

But you don't say "race" rather than culture unless you're the sort of person who (openly or otherwise) believes these differences arise naturally to a large extent depending on what shade on the colour chart your skin is.
In the trade, we call this belief "bullshit".
Ethnicities created ''culture''. Cultural nationalism is pretty misguided.

Sure, but it does not determine it. With appropriate education and social policy ensuring the correct teaching of future generations, integration is very possible. This entire process is held back by discriminatory statements relating to skin colour - why would you want to integrate if people are signalling they would not accept you anyway? If you do not approve of how they behave or act framing the thing in terms of race and biology is counterproductive and entirely non-virtuous.

Culture is created by people and communities. If biology is a factor at all, it is likely only a minor one. Fallen and sinful as we are, humans are nonetheless spiritual beings and we can not be reduced to mere biology.

Ethnicity is generally based more on linguistic classifications than on anything else, so technically ethnicities arose from culture rather than vice versa. I'm not sure why I continue arguing with you; I might as well try to persuade a Flat Earther that the world is round.

Why would we want to let them integrate? They will always be fundamentally different. Integration may be possible in country without an ethnic identity like the US but other nations are less likely to allow this. You can't teach someone that he is something else.

Ensure that they are taught in mainstream schools that teach your culture's values. Have a social policy that allocates newly-arrived immigrants to government-owned housing for the first few years after their arrival - "pepperpot" these over the country to avoid ethnic exclaves developing. Screen and interview them in the first instance to filter out those who most obviously won't try to integrate. Where immigrants are required (and they are, due to temporary skills shortages in certain sectors, and because of falling birth rates, as part of the efforts to avoid a "demographic timebomb" arising through an aging population), there is plenty that can be done to better integrate them that we are simply not doing due to lack of will. We need them, so we want them to integrate because if we think our culture is pretty neat we should try to encourage newcomers to take it up for both their own benefit and the benefits in social solidarity.

Lol what, I'm Dutch and we've always been divided into the more Catholic south and Protestant hillbilly areas and whatnot. There never was an unified Dutch culture and there will never be.
Also, Frisians aren't the same as Dutch, as are Limburgians/Bourgondians.
