The idea that all cultures are equally good is one of the largest blind spots for the left. Not all cultures are created equal. Western enlightenment values are the cornerstone of everything we enjoy. We wouldn't be sitting here arguing on an elf forum without them. In many middle eastern countries you'd probably be killed for playing such a blasphemous game.
But the left seems to think any attempt to maintain a coherent culture means you are racist. Like, no dummy, the whole point of America for instance, is that it is a melting pot founded on western enlightenment values. Immigrants are welcome to come here, legally, through the many generous systems we have in place to admit them. Nobody is asking them to give up their favorite fashion, or cuisine, or music, or religion, or anything else that makes their culture unique, we simply ask that you follow the rule of law and adhere to the project of equal rights. That means you can't sell your daughter into a forced marriage, for instance. Keep everything else, but we ask that you leave that part behind.
This is apparently highly racist... so stupid.

The more people of the same culture your bring and put in an area, the less overal assimilation and integration you will see. What you will see instead is insulation. They culture will form a little bubble of itself, insulated against having to assimilate into the country it is residing in

Exactly. This is precisely what is happening in Europe. They were too spineless to enforce their own laws, because arresting brown immigrants makes you racist. Meanwhile many cities in the UK had rape gangs of grooming 12 and 13 year old girls, because they came from a culture where that is acceptable and never had to integrate. People are so petrified to criticize anyone seemingly who isn't white, all while completely disregarding real suffering, in the name of their own cowardice and sense of self-preservation. Hey sure those innocent kids are getting raped, but at least nobody will call me racist! Like, grow a spine.
