Explain Britain then.

I mean, the words you're using to type this post come from about three different cultures to begin with.

Let's see, in history we've had, Celtic, Germanic, Latin, Angle, Saxon, Brythonic, Norman, Norse, Dutch, and some Spanish culture...and then when we started going abroad we got some Hindu culture, some Arabic culture, and Caribbean culture.
Sure, it's caused problems from time to time, but we're still here. Heck, the favourite dish of the UK, above even the stereotypical 'Fish and Chips' is Chicken Tikka Masala, which is a dish based on Indian styling but invented in the UK. Notting Hill Carnival, one of the most famous carnivals in the UK is West Indian in origin, heck, our flag the red cross of St George, is named after a Syrian immigrant.

That has been one of this countries greatest strengths...until recently...the ability to take in people of a culture, assimilate them, adapt elements of their culture to work alongside what is already present and continue. Sure, there might be a couple of riots on the way, but the world didn't end.
Still, I guess the internet has changed all that now anyway, perhaps now in this age of modern rapid communication that brings us all closer together we are moving rapidly to make sure that we build barriers to keep people out.
It'll all end in tears, and lots of dead people, but I guess that's how it goes. Humanity will probably endure, and if it doesn't, well better luck whatever evolves next.
