Anyway... as I said before. Bad policy doesn't mean multiculturalism is a failure and I suppose I'm backing up what you are saying.

Yeah, Göteborg is a lovely city (especially in the summer), and it's not like this everywhere. I guess Angered, Biskopsgården and Bergsjön are pretty much the same, but the central parts of Göteborg are really nice.
"The Boulevard".. that's got to be "Avenyn". Your friend was lucky to get a flat there.
Wait.. your friend's name isn't Malin, is it..?
And yeah, I agree. Multiculturalism itself isn't a failure, but what we see in most cases today isn't multiculturalism.
I mean, how is it "multicultural" when you segregate people from different cultures like that?
Of course people from Iraq won't get to be a part of Swedish society the way they should when they only spend time with other Iraqis!
We only had "real" multiculturalism in Sweden during the 60's 70's and early 80's, and it worked like a charm!
I don't know what it's
really like in the US, Japan or anywhere else apart from the UK, but I do know that what we see in Sweden today isn't working,
and that it isn't multiculturalism.
