@ exexpat It seems to me you are talking more about patriotism rather than multiculturalism because the latter is more about mutual respect between different cultures living within a society who still share common values, rather than collectively feeling proud to be British and giving back to the society as Brits. When you said multiculturalism is not working I took it as you saying these other non-whites are incapable of integrating into mainstream society, this is what people usually mean when they talk about the failure of multiculturalism.
@britexpat: The ghettos and ethnic gangs stem more from socioeconomic issues rather than the failure of multiculturalism. Middle class Blacks are as American as they come, and most of these gangs wars came about post civil rights movement,they are more related to control of territory for criminal activity rather than race issues.
