Uninhibited extremes one associates with being integrated (6)

I believe the answer is:

united

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'being integrated' is the definition.
('united' can be similar in meaning to 'integrated')

'uninhibited extremes' is the wordplay.
'extremes' means to remove the middle letters.
'uninhibited' with its middle removed is 'UNITED'.

'one associates with' is the link.
I am not very happy about this link. Some or all of it may be part of another bit of the clue.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for united that I've seen before include "Brought or joined together" , "Got together" , "Joined together like Manchester soccer team" , "Allied, standing together" , "in league" .)

I've seen this clue in the Irish Times.
