People who grow up in minority free neighborhoods tend to have a starry eyed view of minorities, whereas people who grow up with blacks tend to not hold them on some pedestal. I grew up in a 99.5% white neighborhood, but the powers that be came up with the wonderful idea of forced integration by the time I reached Elementary school. Growing up with blacks and seeing them in school definitely formed my opinions of them early on. Funny how the same liberal jews that formulated and foisted bussing upon the white communities saw fit to send their kids to private schools.    On the subjects of immigrants and different religions in the US, a mosque should not be allowed to be built unless the other side reciprocates (let's say Saudi Arabia) by allowing a Christian church, buddhist church, or non-muslim church to be built in their country. I wouldn't hold my breath though.
