It always a battle at first after several generations, even the most ethnically dense neighborhoods get Americanified in some way. A unified culture helps to bind people. A music festival in California will draw a large group of african americans, asian americans, and especially hispanic americans, as behind whites, they make up the next largest group. And you find many of these people have friends of at least a different race beyond the event.
Thats only in America in the middle east or Asia ect its a different story.
Import Singapore
the singapore model will work wonders in that part of the world since it is largely muslim with ethnicities that have more shared values then say a middle eastern or chinese and an American. Also, the activist centralized government is allowed there as well...
so all you need to do is break the races up so that each city block is mixed up and indian and malayan and chinese school children all walk to school together and most likely their parents will work together as well, and have a unifying language and culture(though they can keep their native tongue and the parts of their native culture that doesn't conflict with yours). In Dubai, as is much of the middle east, it is still a bit too racist and a non middle-eastern cannot even become a citizen of some countries/city-states, namely the Emmerites.
The Problem
It is bad enough when you find a country that values blood (like black blood or jewish blood or chinese blood), or values familism which again places a heavy emphasis on blood over merit, wherein good is determined by blood and bad is the non-blood. In the Tribalistic middle east, they suffer from the over valuation of blood, familism, and tribalism.
Even if the P-word muslim is being tortured endlessly by another P-word muslim or an afghani muslim, that's okay, but it boils one blood when it is an American or Israeli doing so? These muslims only go ape*$(% when it is a westerner but if its a Libyan, Syrian, Egyptian, Sudanese government carrying out the evil, they don't feel animated enough to head over to this country where injustice is routinely carried out in and bomb roads or buildings in the name of social justice. Why? Because of tribalism... it is a very unevolved way at looking at the world. Blood should take a backseat to love, merit, freedom, equality, and a whole host of other values that have made the west the leaders of human progress.
