Does anyone know much about different cultures mixing ? I for one know f-all about it. I am referring to different races, religions, colours, creeds, ethnic groups etc. etc. etc., and whether they mix together in friendships, relationships and in casual sexual scenarios or do the tend more to stick just to their own.

I guess this becomes relevant for Ireland only over the last 10 years or so with the massive influx of immigrants from Eastern Europe. Yet I know of only one single case where an Irish friend of mine hooked up with a Polish immigrant girl and got married.

The English scene is of course far more developed because they've had a very multi cultural society for years. But I don't know much about it .... there's a strong middle eastern and Indian presence in England, as well as Jewish and other communities. But do they prefer to stick to their own or do they actually mix ?
