Sadly I would have to agree about "most" - but not overwhelmingly so, don't forget that "failures" are much more visible than "successes" here ! Still, IMHO ghettos are (mostly) the result of lazy assimilation policies. It's funny, just today, in between these comments I had a discussion with an Ukrainian mother that was concerned that her kid had too many Russian speakers in her school group, and so that would make it harder for her to learn the local language... (Considering all these comments I perhaps should have been softer about "giving up [their] ethnicity", I didn't want to mean completely ! Retaining some of the old one is fine, even good, as long as the culture and the values are compatible - it's not like Nations are completely homogeneous anyway, and diversity is strength !)
