It's about having a balance.

There's nothing wrong with ethnic diversity, as long as culturally a nation is homogeneous.

I guess it depends on how you'd define turmoil, but theoretically, yes. But that wouldn't necessarily be a positive. For example, a country with no connection to a certain race might not handle it well when they come into contact with said race.

Turmoil however is what creates progress. Even if everyone was a white, European Christian, we'd still argue about something. People like to disagree about things. Really, disagreement is what gets rid of things like slavery or brings rights to women. Stubbornness is the enemy of progress though. Stubbornness and a strong ego.

This is true - The USA is the most diverse country on the planet.

This has been true for some time. After the 1965 Immigration and Nationality Act was passed though, it changed for the worse.

It has gotten progressively worse since its passing:

No.

America can't be ethnically homogeneous to begin with, because we brought over blacks hundreds of years ago. I am more "American" than most white people in this country.

The people who want a country to be ethnically homogeneous need to found their own country with a distinct set of laws. They must also mandate at least 2.1 children so that their population remains stable.

How is ethnically homogeneous Japan working out? (birth rate is 1.21)

Not reallly true. It misses the point.

There has to be a common cultural point upon which we all agree. In the past, this has been about freedom and respect for individuality. Liberals hate those things, and have destroyed them. So, now we balkanize into our respective cultural groups, fighting each other to force our cultural onto everyone else.

Dieversity is poison. Homogenous countries are always more peaceful, ordered, and efficient.
