Well, there are significant minorities in Singapore and there are no racial riots or tensions that exist there. Plus they have a large Muslim minority and have a similar percentage of Muslims living there as places such as London, yet but no major terrorist threat. Plus they don't have racially segregated neighborhoods, and it is illegal there. A majority of housing in Singapore is public and every public housing apartment block has to have a mixture of different ethnic groups. https://www.historycampus.org/2016/c...ticulturalism/
However, there are American cities that are still very much racially segregated and have ethnic ghettos.
The West can learn from the success of multiculturalism in Singapore.
Over two-thirds of Singapore is Han Chinese.
It is also a highly authoritarian society, in contrast to the West.
Not to mention racial prejudice between Chinese vs Malays and Indians still very much exists underneath the surface.
Shocking how so many people want to ignore this study by someone who was previously a huge cheerleader for "multiculturalism"...
Um, because he said this:
I do need to step back a minuet and say I think that the - it's not merely a fact that America's becoming more diverse. It's a benefit. America will - all of us will, over the long run, benefit from being a more diverse, more heterogeneous place. Places that are more diverse have higher rates of growth on average and they have better cuisine. And it's just a more interesting place to live.
His study cited that yes, there are growing pains (duh), but in the long run it's good. Apparently he is quite unhappy with how his study is being represented.
Here you read Putnam explaining himself, not someone picking out stuff and putting their spin on it.

The best trick the 1% plays is fueling culture wars to distract from what's really happening.
All while siphoning money from the middle class and sending it offshore.
Tribes need to band together against the real effector.
A common tactic that has worked for 1000s of years.

SAME thing they said with the Italian, Irish, Russian, Jewish and all the other immigrant groups that came before.
Same complaints, different groups.
It also helped that the immigration from that part of Europe was largely shut off for several decades, allowing these immigrants to assimilate due to no new "blood" arriving.
That all changed with the 1965 Hart-Cellar act, which prioritized immigration from the Third Word. Places often considerably different in culture, religion and even race (real or perceived) from the earlier European immigrants.

The reality is old minds often get left behind when they don't embrace change.
