> US style, incorporate the migrants into the fabric of society by forming detectable enclaves that, nevertheless, don't riot in the streets.

I seem to recall street riots in the US during the summer of 2020. Is the US actually avoiding the same fate as Europe, or is it just not currently at a flashpoint?

The US rioters weren't recent migrants were they? My understanding is it was age-old class politics.

A lot of the rioting in France isn't by recent immigrants either, but more like second and third generation descendants of immigrants. A lot like the groups rioting it the US.

Noted descendant of immigrants George Floyd, yes. Have you had your morning coffee yet?

I had enough to realize he wasn't rioting in the summer of 2020.
