+europe 's divided racial house
+a common feature of europe 's extreme right is its racism and use of the immigration issue as a political wedge .
+the lega nord in italy , the vlaams blok in the netherlands , the supporters of le pen 's national front in france , are all examples of parties or movements formed on the common theme of aversion to immigrants and promotion of simplistic policies to control them .
+while individuals like jorg haidar and jean @-@ marie le pen may come and ( never to soon ) go , the race question will not disappear from european politics anytime soon .
+an aging population at home and ever more open borders imply increasing racial fragmentation in european countries .
+mainstream parties of the center left and center right have confronted this prospect by hiding their heads in the ground , hoping against hope that the problem will disappear .
+it will not , as america 's racial history clearly shows .
+race relations in the us have been for decades - and remain - at the center of political debate , to the point that racial cleavages are as important as income , if not more , as determinants of political preferences and attitudes .
+the first step to address racial politics is to understand the origin and consequences of racial animosity , even if it means uncovering unpleasant truths .
+this is precisely what a large amount of research in economics , sociology , psychology and political science has done for the us .
