To an extent, much of the same could be said about Canada.
Sure, the public image is one of tolerance for this giant 'cultural melting pot' we call a country. Behind closed doors the Anglophones strongly dislike the french in Quebec. Many loathe the bottom-of-the-barrel immigrants that are straining our healthcare and social assistance programs. Whiteys aren't trusting the blacks (drive-by shootings, gang violence, robberies). Blacks hate the whitey because they're the perceived 'authority'.
Despite it all, the Cdn. government would have the world believe our melting pot is Mr. Roger's neighbourhood with rainbows in the sky and opportunity for everyone. The propaganda they disseminate is with the intention of brainwashing the sheeple into thinking that everything is copastetic within the cultural diversity.
