Since they constitute a majority of the planet and several of the best functioning economies in the world I'd say that it's working for them.

Again, socialists are always pushing this "super human" crap. It didn't work for hitler, it won't work for you either. Besides you cannot "breed out" tribalism from the human race. People will always find a way to seperate ourselves. Could any of us tell the differences of the hutu or tutsi tribes in africa? They were identical in appearance that didn't keep them from killing each other by one million in central africa back in the 90s.

Race has nothing to do with tribalism. Tribalism has nothing to do with genetics.

As long as there are religions, cultures, social standings, and languages, there will always be divides and tribalism.

Tribalism only affects those who are ignorant. You can have different cultures and peace at the same time.

The Hutu and Tutsi dispute arised from ignorance, which a scientist brought forth to those who were vulnerable. I think you should do more research.

This 'problem' will only be solved when Europe, Australia, Canada, USA, etc are mixed-race homelands while Blacks will have Africa, Asians have Asia, etc.

White people are the only people stupid enough to voluntarily commit their own suicide.



Besides, if diversity is great why would we want one race? Sorry but White people are the only race with different colored hair, different colored eyes. If you mix that, often those genes go away. If diversity is great why would we want to do away with that? I don't think so, all black hair and brown eyes doesn't seem very diverse to me.

One ancedotal situation does not constitute a scientific truth. The fact of the matter is that American Indians suffered a massive decline in their population when they first came into contact with European settlers because they had not been exposed to small pox. Far more Indians were killed by disease than any combat with European settles.

Racism, prejudice and bigotry tend to be based on IGNORANCE, FEAR and HATRED!

Sorry, but you are way off base here. the left don't want want for everyone to be of one race, that would destroy the majority of their pandering for votes. The left likes to pander to minorities by telling them, they are less then white people and need help to succeed in life.

The fact of the matter is you are LESS LIKELY to look like somebody else if you are the offspring of an interracial relationship.

Now I agree that people should, marry date and socialize with whoever they want. But there is a matter or personal preference.

Diversity is about as necessary as feces floating in a swimming pool. Thanks for starting the White Guilt Thread Of The Day though. These are always good for comic relief.

Why aren't homogenous continents such as Asia not encouraged to "diversify"? The "diversity" focus has been strictly on Caucasian nations even though they are only 10% of the world's population.

The downside of diversity
A Harvard political scientist finds that diversity hurts civic life. What happens when a liberal scholar unearths an inconvenient truth?
IT HAS BECOME increasingly popular to speak of racial and ethnic diversity as a civic strength. From multicultural festivals to pronouncements from political leaders, the message is the same: our differences make us stronger.

But a massive new study, based on detailed interviews of nearly 30,000 people across America, has concluded just the opposite. Harvard political scientist Robert Putnam -- famous for "Bowling Alone," his 2000 book on declining civic engagement -- has found that the greater the diversity in a community, the fewer people vote and the less they volunteer, the less they give to charity and work on community projects. In the most diverse communities, neighbors trust one another about half as much as they do in the most homogenous settings. The study, the largest ever on civic engagement in America, found that virtually all measures of civic health are lower in more diverse settings.

"The extent of the effect is shocking," says Scott Page, a University of Michigan political scientist.
