Wouldn't true integration be integration on equal ground? Instead of having to separate one's self from a society in order to understand it, wouldn't true acceptance of society and self be viewing society as the same as one's self?
I think the idea is to be in the world, but not of it

1 Corinthians 9:19-23
New International Version (NIV)
Quote:19 Though I am free and belong to no one, I have made myself a slave to everyone, to win as many as possible. 20 To the Jews I became like a Jew, to win the Jews. To those under the law I became like one under the law (though I myself am not under the law), so as to win those under the law. 21 To those not having the law I became like one not having the law (though I am not free from God’s law but am under Christ’s law), so as to win those not having the law. 22 To the weak I became weak, to win the weak. I have become all things to all people so that by all possible means I might save some. 23 I do all this for the sake of the gospel, that I may share in its blessings.
