Yeah, same thing here in the US. The whole "melting pot" concept was a very utopian ideal when it was on paper, but history has come to show that some cultures simply won't blend with other cultures.
I'm a neo-tribalist. A world which can progress technologically, but keep socially-tribal communities. People can form factions along cultural lines, and then create strong social bonds within said communities. Commerce, trade, and large projects (space programs, manufactoring, etc) can still occur in an impersonal manner through interaction between tribes, where cultural identity would not be an issue. Though regardless of what social structures are enacted to deal with cultural friction, the thing the world must get over is xenophobia and supremacism. If the world is to find equalibrium at all people must be willing to accept another culture's equality and right to exist within it's own right. If not, inter-cultural conflict will just continue.
