Abstract
Social science research does not have to serve the political purposes of governments or their critics. It can escape the constraints of ideologically loaded concepts like integration by analysing general characteristics of human behaviour. Developments in France and Britain are compared. Reductions in group differences are presented as the outcome of changes in majority and minority preferences for association with co-ethnics relative to other preferences.
