[QUOTE="ThatRobGuy, post: 77671115, member: 123415"] what you're mentioning lines up with what I was reading in that article I linked. The person writing the article was describing being one of the few Black people in Vienna, being in a car with one of the few other Black people, and having people shouting the N-word at them out a car window within the first few weeks of being there. I think that's where some terms get conflated. "Immigrant-open" doesn't necessarily mean inclusive or that it's non-homogenous. In the case of Austria, it sounds like despite having a lot of second-generation immigrants, a large majority of them are from other countries that were already relatively similar in many racial/cultural aspects. (I think the one article I was reading suggested that half of them are from Germany -- another country that speaks the same language, and has a relatively similar culture) That'd be kinda like if the US was claiming "look how easy integrating is, we accepted all these people from Canada, and the Anglican Canadians are getting along mostly fine with these Episcopalians from Minnesota they're now living amongst each other, there were a few challenges, but everything's working out" and used that as the basis for "Well, since it worked out there, let's duplicate that model with Mexican Catholics and the Southern Baptists in Houston" and expecting it to be just as easy.
