Perhaps you forgot the day that FDR said would live in infamy?

If you look at the world, no matter where it may be, the more races/religions/languages/cultures there are ends up disproportionately relating to just how peaceful/united people are.

You look at something like Japan where, it's about as homogeneous as can be. Can you not say it being one of the most crime-free, healthiest, and overall most successful countries has nothing to do with it? Look at Europe, the more diverse it has become the worse it has gotten. As far as the U.S is concerned, I know people will respond with "But the U.S has always been a nation of immigrants", true, but of the European kind. Which, while technically diverse, is far different than those otherwise. When the founding fathers created this nation do you think they honestly thought by immigrants it would be hundreds of thousands/millions from Africa, Middle East, Asia etc.? And for those that would say they love diversity, well, if you really feel like you need it, isn't that what planes and boats are for? Instead of importing different people into your country wouldn't it make more sense to go to others yourself?

Sure I'll get lots of flack for this but if we look deep-down on our nature as humans isn't it the truth?
No I heartily agree. The current progressive definition of 'diversity' is bullsh!t. They've completely twisted the meaning of it 180 degrees. It's their Newspeak. These globalists with their fetish for multiculturalism want open borders and the end of national identity which will result in ethnic and cultural homogeneity. How is homogeneity diversity?? It's not. It will be a crying shame if Britain, France, Italy, Japan, Germany etc lose their unique cultures and ethic differences. I like the diversity of distinct national identities. A uniformly tan world population with a single blended culture is dull and boring.

Just look at Hindu Indians and their caste systems. Or colourism in general.

Or, in western countries, social class.
Very true. England had a very strong social class system until recently. Japan is also a complete outlier as far as economic success and crime go; 95% of ethnically homogeneous countries are considerably worse off.

Look at Haiti. That is a homogeneous country, and it's been a mess from day one. Poorest country in the Western Hemisphere. Many of the nation's best and brightest have been leaving Haiti for years. North Korea is very ethnically homogeneous. Last I checked, that country is a hermit dictatorship.

95% eh? Prove that. Ethnically homogenous European countries such as Germany, France, Britain and Spain have historically been extremely successful.

The most successful society in the history of humanity, The United States of America, is also the most diverse society in the history of humanity. End of discussion.

You do not know the difference between coincidence and causality.

They were not seen as "ethnically homogenous" back in the day. Lots of smaller ethnic groups in those countries have assmiliated into the term "Brit", "Spanish", "French" etc. Look at how people self-identified in those areas 200 years ago.

And yet we are and have been one of the most internally turbulent countries on Earth not currently at war with itself. Apart from the late unpleasantness where we were at war with ourselves.

Not end of story. You've completely missed the mark.

They might not kill people but they are involved in illegal activity.


Even if the people in a country all look similar, I'm sure that a way would be found to make a distinction between people. The differences might not be apparent to outsiders but members of that society would know and act accordingly.
But doesn't that kind of prove my point? Even within homogeneous societies there is still quite a bit of diversity and other issues. Why make it even worse by having so many others?

Another thing to keep in mind is we are force-fed the idea that by not "diversifying" we are somehow losing out on good ideas, new inventions etc. but again, even in homogeneous societies there is still enough technical diversity among your own to accomplish new things. In Japan despite their makeup they became one of the best technological powers. In America has been the same. Though in our case left likes to joke about how things are dominated by "straight white men". Considering they have managed to take us to the moon, as well as create so many other things why is it bad? You really think we're missing out much by not employing thousands of sub-saharan African/Arab scientists and women lol?
