No it wouldn't. And even if it was, so what? If the population of America (let's use it as an example) was 100 million smaller, I would argue that America would be far better off. In myriad of ways.

Thankfully, most people aren't dumb enough to ruin the economy just live out their racist fantasies.

Is that all you care about? The economy? Is that all we are at the end of the day...just part of a big economic machine?

Look at the math. The economy would be a fraction of its size without diversity. So many of you would crater the economy just to live out your dumb racism.
Economically successful societies attract immigrants, and may become "diverse". But the belief that diversity, as an initial condition, leads to economic success, is entirely unsupported.

Confirmation bias. You like the result of the study, so it’s legitimate in your mind. If it’s peer-reviewed research on something you disagree with, then it’s an agenda. I get tired of this BS. Have some faith in fellow humans, even if you disagree with them. Everything should not be divided along partisan lines.

You remind me of the people on the below thread in the Economics forum who are all about letting in more immigrants because they want MOAR "economic growth"

As oppose to the virtues of what? What other virtues should be taught as oppose to diversity? segregation? ethnic and racial division? What? America has been diverse since day one, there is no other way and never has been.

Name a diverse country that doesn’t have major problems associated with diversity. Name a country that is not diverse that has major issues associated with diversity. How does importing millions of those from the 3rd world help U.S. economy?

How about both. Virtues of diversity and virtues of homogeneity. I’m white and prefer a white community. I’m a “racist” because I prefer that. That’s the difference. The insults towards those that prefer to associate with those if their own race. As if there’s something wrong with that.

So how about it. Let’s get public schools to teach the virtues of both instead of knocking one and focusing 100% on the other.

Define what constitutes a major problem? Also what constitutes "diversity" to you is it only ethnic or can it also be religious, political, economic, etc? Northern Ireland was not ethnically diverse but they were religiously diverse and they had major social problems, ditto Lebanon, Bosnia. North Korea and Saudi Arabia are two of the least diverse places on earth and arguably two of the worst places on earth.
