These things are essential for both psychological health and political self determination, which are core to quality of life. How diversity can be defended as a "good thing" in light of this study, which had an enormous 30k person sample size that makes its validity rock solid, is beyond any rational comprehension.
It only sampled the U.S? What about the rest of the world. The average country is more diverse linguistically and ethnically/culturally than the U.S. Sure this might be true in the U.S but what about the rest of the world. Also what diversity is the study talking about.

The average nation is not more diverse than Putnam's sample. Sorry.

If Putnam reached his conclusion based on a hypothetically more limited amount of diversity, then increasing that diversity would only reinforce his results. A fact that is easy and obvious logic.

That's as much of an article review that I'm willing to indulge you in without you giving me some evidence that you know how to critique research.

Your from Nigeria and live in Texas, correct? I'm not going to continue to run in circles with you to indulge your sociopolitical sense of self-interest in wanting to prove that your presence is a benefit to White people. I already gave you an exceedingly detailed answer in a prior post, and frankly your next post was illogical in terms of a valid research critique. Best of luck.

The problem with people that typically describe themselves, as mostly, Democrats, Leftist, or Progressives is words like Diversity are like Unicorn farts to them They live in some strange world where a word like Diversity only means goodness. Diversity can have many meanings. Diversity is only good from a social perspective when the groups of people actually get along.

Good example is L.A the illegal immigrant communities are high crime , lots of trash on the streets and the people aren’t actively involved in working with the city so things just get ignored and degrade .

These were decent middle class places .

Where do you live ? I’m talking from experience from ground zero of illegal alien central . You can also ask long time legal Hispanics and they will tell you the same thing . “Things went down hill” they use a term I won’t say here to refer to illegals .
You’re making too much sense. The progs just plug their ears

"Nigerian Nightmare", I'll give you the remedial version:

Libyans are also Africans. However, if you wish to only qualify Black Africans as such then you can add "sub-saharan" in front of Africa. All fixed.

The Turks are the product of Mongolians mixing with central Asian Caucasians over time. The Turkish language, in fact, is in the same language family as the Mongolian language: which is its root. So, technically Turks are Asians.

However, "Turkey" is not the Turkish homeland. Turkey (Anatolia) is one of the origins of the primary European y-DNA haplogroups (R1b if memory serves). In fact, "Europeans" controlled Turkey, one of heir primary original homelands, until relatively recently. Turks, or Caucasian Mongolian hybrids, invaded and conquered Anatolia many centuries ago, ethnically cleansed the original populace, and have been squatting their ever since. Their original "homeland" being both Mongolia and Central Asia.

Geographically, Turkey (Anatolia) is seen as the transition point from Europe to Asia and can be said to be Asia (or Euraisa). However, I said "pick any Asian country" to allow you to adjust for any particular Asian tribe that you wish to concentrate on: Chinese, Japanese, Filipino, Turkish, etc. All of their home nations being in Asia or, according to you failed pedantic rebuttal, Eurasia.

Israel is expressly the Jewish ethnostate and homeland. You stating that it has more non-Jews than any European nation has non-White immigrants I suspect is inaccurate to say the least considering the non-European presence in UK and Germany.

However, the more salient point is that Jews have a strict cultural laws that amount to anti-miscagenation laws that largely prevent Jewish inter-breeding with non-Jews. Thus, even if they live among a lot of non-Jews. they are bale to retain both their cultural and national integrity.

Unless you wish to grant "White" people the ability to make similar laws, then you are comparing apples to oranges. And Jews still have an expressed ethnostate, while Europeans do not, even with their anti-miscagenation laws.

It doesn't matter if "more than half of all Jews live outside of Israel". They are all eligible for Aliyah and Israeli passports, they all benefit from the concept of the international Jewish nation that is reinforced by religious law, and millions live in and run Israel as their homeland.

Millions of Blacks and Asians also live outside of Africa and Asia, and that is not relevant to the concept of Africa and Asia being their respective homelands. The existence of those homelands being the point of my post.

You seem to wish to resist the idea of Europeans having a homeland. I wonder why that is??

First of all, your still wrong. I said Libya as a random country, again go to Nigeria and Namibia. Namibia's ethnic groups have zero in relation with Nigeria, not to mention Africa has millions of non-Africans. Nigerians can't just go to Namibia and say, Africa for Africans. Also the fact that their are millions of non-Africans in Africa and that number is increasing every day already defeats your point.

South Africa alone has millions of Asians and Europeans. Angola and Namibia have hundreds of thousand so Europeans. North Africa has millions of Arabs or people mixed with Arabs, who are from Asia.

Asia has millions of Europeans and people of European descent. Asia also have millions of people of African descent.

Israel is 74% Jewish. No European country is even below 85% of it's own ethnicity let alone 85% White and half of all immigrants are white, let alone 74%. The Jewish state/homeland concept is the same as Europe essentially. Most European states are ethno-states. In fact, i'm not sure if their isn't a single non-ethno state in Europe. Also the difference in is Judaism isn't a race. Jews are a compilation of multiple races, but a singular broader ethno-religous group. Europe is trying to do something similar. One ethnic group under a national banner. Ethnicity and race aren't the same thing.

I notice you left the Americas, how do you square that? Americas are the homeland for-- everyone then???

You don;t have an argument at all Europe isn't any different from the rest of the world if talking homelands, the main difference is how recent it is.

Another thing Most African and Asian and even Europe aren't based on racial differences like the Americans, their based on ethnic differences.

The cultural shift of individual European countries has been overwhelmingly impacted much more so by direct diffusion from neighboring European countries and indirect diffusion from the United States and occurred well before this recent issue of asylum seekers. If the prevalent language, fashion, cuisine, ideals existing in a European country isn't native, it's still going to be an aspect of Western and not African or Middle Eastern culture; English language, blue jeans, fast food, etc... The 5 Million or 0.98 percent that asylum seekers over the past decade make up of the EU's entire population isn't going to change that.

Wrong. Things change because overtime people move. Cultures change, new ones arise and then they complain that THEIR cultures are being destroyed, their grand children will do the same.
