Multicultural group-boxing erodes individual citizenship, especially for Muslims

Evidence

In practice, the idea of a ‘community of communities’ has helped erode that of a ‘community of citizens’. Diversity is too often ‘managed’ by putting individuals from minority communities into particular ethnic and cultural boxes, defining needs and aspirations by virtue of the boxes into which people are put, and allowing the boxes to shape public policy. Muslims in particular have come to be seen less as citizens who happen to be Muslim than as Muslims who happen to live in Britain. — Runnymede Trust (ed. Farah Elahi & Omar Khan), Islamophobia, 685
