Look at the history of mankind. All the wars fought on behalf of religion and skin color.
Is Multiculturalism the reason why America has so much violence?
Go.....
Nope. Even without multiculturalism, white on white mass shootings, crimes against children & animals and crimes against spouses would still occur from the low EQ whites in America.

New York City is probably the most multicultural place in the U.S. and the world. However, it is one of the safest cities in the U.S. Its violent crime rate in 2017 was less than that of Seattle.
So, I don't think multiculturalism is the main reason for violence. I think low education, poverty, drugs and gangs have a lot more to do with violence.
There is a huge difference. While I agree that there were huge assimilation problems with poor Irish and Italian immigrants initially...
By the 2nd and 3rd generations- when the accents no longer existed, just the surnames, it was a lot easier for Italians and Irish to be accepted into mainstream American society.
Irish and Italians were never the victims of chattel slavery.
It took nearly 100 years after the abolition of slavery for Black Americans to even be granted the same civil rights the white majority enjoyed. Yet conservatives wonder why they haven't caught up yet? Black Americans have accomplished so much even with the deck so stacked against them.
It's not the primary driver, but look at places like Vermont and the Dakotas. They are very homogeneous. They're small states. They have a similar people with similar values and belief systems. They don't have the huge swings between the extremely rich and poor like California. They're relatively safe places.
These states also have relatively low poverty levels.
New Jersey for instance is the 4th safest state in the U.S and is only 59% Caucasian- definitely not homogeneous. However it also has the 6th lowest poverty rate of all of the states.

I absolutely agree with you. Plus, even in the decades since civil rights were granted, what the law is, has been vastly different to what has actually happened in practice in many areas.
African American communities are still at a massive disadvantage, largely through no fault of their own... and as evidenced by some posters in this thread, racism against African Americans still abounds.

Some poster tried trotting out the whole bs argument that blacks have a lower IQ . It would appear that many posters on here are still using 1890s pseudo science to defend there bigotry.

Disgusting, isn't it?
I honestly think they try to use excuses like that to defend the fact that they are still racists in the 21st century- which is in my opinion, inexcusable.
