> And by the way, I include myself and many other white richy type immigrants living in the country in the issue of not identifying with the culture. You cannot fix that by physically mixing everyone in (I already live around mostly native Dutch).

Describe that "Dutch culture" please. I take issue when people start talking about culture of a country as if the whole country shares one.

Most countries in Europe have their own distinct national culture since our borders were mostly made to match cultural and language differences. Americans might not appreciate what it means to have a shared national culture with unique traditions and strongly shared values fostered over millennia but to us it matters a lot.
