immigrants who happen to be , on the whole , brownish , but more to the point seem unable or unwilling to operate within the confines of liberal pluralist societies . They seem to be unable or unwilling to operate within the confines of liberal pluralist societies ? Why not just say that they are unable or unwilling to operate withing the confines of liberal pluralist societies ?

They ' re also less likely to disapprove of interreligious marriage or to identify first by their r e l i g i o n a m e r i c a n s a r e m o r e l i k e l y t o r e j e c t v i o l e n c e i n t olerancethanmanyamericans . Perhaps unsurprisingly , it turns out that people who supported Trump tend to live in racially homogeneous communities and lack contact with i m m i g r a n t s m a s s i v e n e w s t u d y d e b u n k s a w i d e s p r e a d t h e oryfordonaldtrumpssuccess so maybe arguments like yours have more to do with perception than the reality .
