I actually did read it, but I don't think it says what the pinheads who run that website think it does.

...However, over a longer time span and across a broader set of countries, the relationship between ethnic diversity and generalized social trust appears very heterogeneous with no immediately obvious trend (Ortiz-Ospina & Roser 2019). Of course, the famous decline in social trust in the United States from the 1960s onwards—a period of increasing ethnic diversity—fits the pattern, but also lends itself to several other explanations (Putnam 2000). Yet, other countries have experienced marked increases in trust over the last decades. Perhaps most strikingly, Denmark, a country that has diversified at a considerable pace since 1980, saw a dramatic increase in generalized social trust—from 47% trusting others in 1979 to 79% in 2009

Many, many people happen to LIKE diversity. They LIKE working and living amongst people that don't necessarily look or think exactly like they do.

I doubt you would understand.

Why do liberals always need a study for what the rest of us know as common sense from exposure to life and life experiences?

Those who cry "gentrification" don't seem to like it.

Yes, Denmark. But there is a whole world outside of Denmark.

Good grief, you may not like the publisher of the article at the link but that does not mean the study the article is based on is invalid. Here’s a link to the actual research: https://www.researchgate.net/publica...lytical_Review You can download the PDF and read it for yourself. It is a meta-analysis of 87 studies.
