I expect a laugh emoji from this forum's most crazed racist and bigot but... we have, in many ways... but we can do more, of course we can do more. Society can always improve.
We have a melting pot of cuisines, a variety that was unheard of for years. We have introductions of a variety of festivals that enrich us - pop along to Pride in Leamington in August for one. We showcase the best of people and allow them an opportunity, and we take on the best of other cultures and areas and tend to accept people whatever their sexuality, gender, race. Some don't, of course... but you need to create a situation where it's harder for them to get a voice that's heard.
But... there is a tendency in certain places to ghetto-ise, where people of one community end up dominant with no counter-voice. Now you can see that at all levels... there are a number of country villages around Coventry that used to have a wide variety of agricultural workers, workers in the factories in Cov, the landowners, the council tenants... housing policy over a period of years means that that variety disappears, those villages become more homogenised as full of upper-middle class with no reference point... and it's fear of the unknown that causes most issues... and I can say that from direct involvement in researching various communities!
So then you throw a community, whatever community in one place and it allows ideas to become magnified, including dubious opinions. It ferments distrust on all sides, causes issues. We also don't do enough work in integrating people and, maybe more importantly, making them feel like they want to be integrated. Check the nuance there though, I'm not saying people should wait but it's the same as youth groups etc who need a place to function and what we, as a nation, don't do is try and unify society... and we haven't for a number of years.
Once people talk, there tends to be less issue because, well, people are people. That also allows less opportunity for radicalisation.
