Is this really something different than / opposed to tolerance? Or just a stronger state, of tolerance plus integration? I would argue that tolerance is one nec

  I think tolerance _alone_ is a "failure" scenario, and should absolutely not be considered a goal. Tolerance is, quite literally, a ghetto. We allow bad things to continue in the name of tolerance every day. I might even go further to say that integration paradoxically _requires_ some degree of intolerance - the integrated whole should be intolerant of "negative" aspects of the unintegrated, even if they are things that would be seen as protection of "positive" tradition/cultural values by those in a strictly "tolerant" camp on either side.

    Maybe we just need a new word for the phenomenon which prevents tolerance from progressing towards integration?

      That's an excellent idea! "Integration-preventative tolerance" doesn't exactly roll off the tongue though.

      It's called ignorance. Ignoring the bad sides of any given thing. It implies being unreasonable - ignoring good reasons to not tolerate a given behavior. Of course then there's camel nose/slippery slope fallacy so liked by intolerant. It is best to ask for evidence.
