Undoubtedly.
Interaction, however, should not lead to the loss of discernment and the loss of the ability to perceive the hierarchy between ideas, cultures, traditions, ways of life, social organisation and so forth.
Discrimination in the sense of telling the difference between better and worse is as ordinary and unremarkable core of our daily lives as it is essential. It should not be banished from discussions about cultures, traditions etc.
To put it provocatively - not all prejudice is bad. Only a fool does not learn from experience. (How often do people go back to the shop that ripped them off? Trust someone caught lying?)

Actually social science shows that diversity leads to social disharmony.
Check out Putnam's findings which you pig headedly ignore.

Replace it with its former policies either assimilation or Integration

Stop the wasted spending on it and sell off SBS.


It'll save us billions, better spent on real things and real social harmony for a change.
