There’s a difference between following culture (ghetto culture) and following religion (beard, hijab etc) so I don’t see how this comparison is relevant to what i said.

Some people are much more attached to their culture than their religion. From the outside perspective both are just patterns of behaviour. The same reason you dont see many blacks in the City also applies to why if you have a long beard and are perceived as religious you might face difficulties in getting a job there.

It’s not ALL about individual choice i grant you but it’s certainly a big part of it. The ghettos persist cos the government doesn’t do what’s needed to help the people in them out but it’s too easy to blame a person’s (one old enough to know between right and wrong)actions on backrounds, like i said, they are old enough to know better and therefore take responsibility for their actions.

Individual action is a ‘big’ part of it, but the ghettos persist because the government doesnt do whats needed? If individual actual is the big part then surely government action is superfluous.
