Do you tolerate burkas? If by burka you mean the full body covering and full face covering, yes, we see them here, very rarely. Better than making the poor women stay home. One does hope that the wearing is by choice. It is much more common to see women wearing hijab, just the hair covered. I see that so often I don't even think about it.

Census: The new U.S. neighborhood defined by diversity as all-white enclaves vanish washingtonpost.com A Washington Post analysis of 2010 Census data shows a precipitous decline in the number of the region’s census tracts, areas of roughly 2,000 households, where more than 85 percent of the residents are of the same race or ethnicity — what many demographers would consider a segregated neighborhood. In the District, just one in three neighborhoods is highly segregated, the Post analysis found. A decade ago, more than half were. In the Maryland suburbs, one in five neighborhoods is dominated by one race or ethnicity, down from almost a third in 2000. The biggest drop has been in Northern Virginia, where only one in 20 neighborhoods is a racial or ethnic enclave. No suburb is more diverse than Fairfax County, where just 2 percent of neighborhoods are segregated. Front page of today's Washington Post.
