Actually, I see the rage in you. You say "minorities destroy everything" as if they're all the same. Do you see the educated and middle/upper class minorities destroying everything? Or do they not count to you?
I know the truth. The average Black person isn't destroying everything. The underclass types do that. Middle class Blacks and other middle class minorities just try to stay away from them. You don't speak the truth. You speak anger.

Diversity is great, but not at the expense of dealing with crime and other social issues.
I lived in a relatively homogeneous community. It did not mean everything that you say. Read some of my posts. I don't feel like repeating everything .

It doesn't matter what ethnicity you are. What matters is that you have empathy. Empathy is something sorely missing on all sides. Alot of people have a hard time relating.

This is what I require in a community. I want a place that is safe. A place where I won't be perceived as a threat because of my ethnicity. A place where I will be treated with respect, because I am going to treat people the same way, with respect. The ethnicity/racial makeup of that community, well, if the community is safe, people treat each other with respect, and things are running well, does it really matter what race those persons are?

It's actually more about income/class over race (even though race relations is still an important factor). Poor black people commit more crime than middle class black people. Just like poor white people commit more crime than middle class white people.

This also explains why Scandinavian countries don't have crime problems. Most of their population is middle or upper class and white.
