It doesn't, and that was Jon's point.

You're talking at cross-purposes, you know...

And what you're talking about, Andrew, is self-ghetthoisation. Which  
is an issue with nearly every ethnic group moving abroad (even english- 
speakers moving to Cyprus, in my experience). Here in Oz, it's just as  
much a problem of Chinese, Korean and Viet-Namese as of Lebanese and  
Arab groups.

He's not too rude, as you'd know if you'd bothered to pay attention.  
He tries extremely hard, but he has trouble with understanding the way  
e-mail programs quote, and manually quotes every post. If just one of  
us lived nearby and could pop round and demonstrate stuff, jon would  
find life much easier.

What, like you (and your people?)? Way to project, dude. You know,  
nearly every religion and nationalist system does just that.
