Tolerance is "easy" only when you live in a walled-up garden and your only encounter with the marginal groups is through the media and newspapers. Once it becomes an issue of sharing scarce resources together with these groups, tolerance becomes an entirely different matter.

On the other hand, people who live side by side with the minorities are being accused of not being "tolerant enough".
