If there wasn't any ethnicities you'd invent them Herbert. Marginalised people huddle together in ghettos. When the people are not marginalised the ghettos evaporate.
'Marginalised' ~ my arse.
There are immigrant ethnicities who have a work ethic, and there are immigrant ethnicities for whom work is anathema.
The more patriarchal their background culture, the less inclined they are to put their hand to a piece of work.
Hence we have The Usual Suspects predominating in bone-idle occupations such as body-guards, strip-joint bouncers, corner shop convenience stores, taxi-drivers, security guards, hotel doormen, lift-operators, brothel receptionists, hospital orderlies, and O yes ~ crime.
ANY damn job that requires the least amount of energy and the most amount of do-nothing time for a wage.
And those among them who can't find a vacancy in one of these bone-bloody-idle occupations remain permanently on the dole which they supplement with petty crime of a drug dealing nature. The more clever among them manage to up their dole income by transferring to the Disability Support Pension.
The 'marginalisation' is ALL self-engendered as a product of generational sloth and 'macho' idleness in the men ~ as a cultural imperative.
In The Usual Suspect cultures it's actually shameful for a man to be seen
labouring and sweating for a living. It loses 'face'. That's why all over the Muslim countries there are legions and legions of Indians and Filipinos doing all the heavy-lifting.
Explorer Richard Burton wrote back to Queen Victoria that no effort should be made to colonise Egypt because the men were generationally habituated to a bone-idle life-style and could not be depended upon to do any productive work in any trade agreements with that country.
That was in total contrast to India and China where a strong work ethic has always existed.
Ghettoes are refuges for the lazy and the criminal who refuse to integrate and assimilate in the same way as the vast majority of ethnic immigrants do.
