To find the answer to this question you should read more books on the early history of colonial America when it was much more homogenous than today.
The short answer is- every nation has its own culture and its culture creates a unique set of problems no matter how homogeneous it is.
Japan may have less crime than the USA but they have many other social problems that are unheard of in the US (just watch their sick porn and you'll understand why Japanese women do not want to marry Japanese men) and if you have any experience with Japanese culture for an extended period of time you may find that it's not as ideal as you think it is.
Speaking of peaceful, homogenous, racist, supremacist Japan, is there such thing as "Asian privilege"? That's a word that should be introduced to the Liberal dictionary.
Yes, I enjoyed Japan when I was there, but there are lots and lots of unsavory aspects to its culture that those on here who extol it as Nirvana have no clue about.
- Brazil
- Greece
- Colombia
- Iraq
- SEVERAL African nations...
Brazil is more ethnically mixed than America. Colombia isn't that far behind. Iraq is having sectarian conflict between Kurds, Sunnis, and Shiites. And I don't know of any African countries which are homogeneous. They may all be black, but they aren't the same ethnic/tribal/religious/linguistic group.

I suppose a better question might be, why has Haiti been so chaotic? There must be a rational reason why it is the only exception in the entire world. Is it economic interests being controlled by a small handful of people who don't necessarily consider themselves Haitian? Is it foreign involvement in the country causing it to be destabilized? Or is it a history of oppression by a series of brutal dictators that have left the people distrusting of the government and the people around them?
Give it up white supremacists, not going to happen. Govie, I'll take you out to Starbucks sometime. Dude might have a heart attack though when he finds out im half black though. Kid is obsessed with race on here, were both Minnesotans, although he says since he's white it's his state.

I have cousins from Minnesota. In my eyes, they are Minnesotan. They were born and raised there, still live there. Both are Minnesotans to me. Same goes for Dave Winfield and Prince. Truth is, I'd rather be in Minnesota right now than Georgia.

I know nothing about Minnesota, but I also hated Georgia. I lived there for about a year, in Dalton, Cartersville, and Marietta. Hated it all. Only thing positively memorable about my time in Georgia, was my trip to the Atlanta IKEA. I had never been in one before and I thought it was great(no IKEA's in Oklahoma City).
With that said, I don't know if I would necessarily consider myself specifically an "Okie".
I mean, when I worked at BNSF railroad. The guys working out of Oklahoma City either were from Oklahoma City, Tulsa, Fort Worth, Arkansas City, or Kansas City. In most cases, you could tell where they were from simply by looking at how they dressed.
The "Ark city" guys usually dressed very plainly(lots of flannel), were more soft-spoken. The Fort Worth/Dallas guys were much more "showy" and spoke more loudly. The Oklahoma City guys are somewhere between that. Not quite the soft-spoken and humble rural Kansans, and not quite the loudmouth and arrogant big-city boys.
With that said, I had far more affinity for the humble Kansans than the pompous Texans.
In Georgia, I didn't find as many good humble rural people like I expected. Dalton was like half Mexicans from actual Mexico, then a bunch of old-money white people with only a sprinkling of humility. And anywhere close to Atlanta(especially northside) is full of people who think far too highly of themselves. A bunch of McMansions for the shallow people who live there, and who want basically nothing to do with the black people who are strangely the majority of the population but who rarely leave the southside.
The amount of "urban sprawl" that you find in northern Georgia is amazing. Just houses sprawled out seemingly forever in all directions.
Of course, I hated Florida even more than Georgia. Everything bad about Georgia, Florida is worse and then some.
- socially, culturally, etc. - it was more ethnically homogeneous?

Agreed tho "ethnic" can be a BS word. To an Irishman: all US citizens are the same ethnicity but CAN be of different races. IMHO a Black person from England is still a "Brit" as much as a white person from there.
The 1965 law made the immigration process fair for everyone, not just white Europeans.
The 1965 law actually ended unlimited immigration to the US from Latin America and the Caribbean and removed the severe restrictions on immigration from most of continental Europe. I wonder if the people who think that the law was a bad idea favor the policies that it changed.
Neither Brazil or Colombia is Racially Homogeneous. Greece is being flooded with illegals from Africa. Iraq is a war zone...so what else ya got? Like I said anyone considered the problem maybe an IQ problem or something else? Like someone else said Japan came together after the tsunami and nuclear problem and fixed it really fast,no rioting,murdering etc.
Greece is whiter than the US has ever been at any time in its history.
Oh very true it is. Just saying its not entirely homogeneous. Hopefully it can fix its immigration problem soon.With the correct political party in office all will be fixed.
