The non-integration you’re talking about is common in multi-cultural cities. Vancouver, Canada is a very strong example of this, with distinctly Chinese, Philippino, and Indian areas with large proportions of the population who do not integrate. It’s almost the opposite of a melting pot, seems stable, and could be described as ghetto-ized.

- jszymborski 5y agoI'd argue it's a bit harder to endanger a majority language without violent relocation and re-education camps that the Squamish people suffered; but point taken.

I understand the desire to make political points about the status of native/first nations populations in Canada, but frankly, English and French are Canada's official languages.
