Japan and South Korea are both racially monolithic (or nearly so) and are both prosperous First World countries. Both of them also had the experience of having been devastated by wars and yet still managed to rebuild themselves from the ashes.

What these examples show is that diversity is neither a strength nor a weakness when it comes to how prosperous a country ends up being. Apparently, other factors are more determinative.
Yet, the liberals still keep bleating on and and on about how "diversity is our strength." Maybe someday they'll offer up some solid explanations for why they believe this to be true.

I never said it was a strength or a weakness. To me, diversity is just part of the national character in the USA. It's part of this country. I don't consider that a bad thing. Yes, liberals will say it's a strength. Many conservatives call diversity a bad thing. It's either you like it or you hate it.
As for the countries I mentioned, totally different histories, and forces shaping those countries and their cultures.

Exactly. Diversity was and is a part of the makeup of the USA. What's key is what actions does one take in this context. You can either play on fearmongering, hysteria and prejudice to exclude and marginalize others, or be welcoming such that the country can make use of peoples' different backgrounds and experiences to one's advantage. Ya'll have a choice.

Historically, the action has been to keep "the other" at arms length. Fearmongering, prejudice, and hysteria, sadly, have big a major part of American history. Nativism has been a major part of U.S. history. Many people have come and made America their home, and helped build America. On the other hand, there have been many who react with fear and prejudice towards those who happened to be different. History has shown us alot.

It's a fair point. The truth is there is a conspiracy by just about all national politicians to destroy America. One can only come to that conclusion when we examine their hateful anti-American actions that continue, unchecked, and have so now for 50 years.
The ONLY reason a nation would continue to flood her country with millions of indigent, uneducated third worlders Is to destroy it. Period. It's happening right in front of our faces, but there absolutely nothing we can do about it.
Again, 99.9% of the Americas, North Atlantica across the pond & every other society born & raised by the globalist plantation system are Nordic and/or wanna-be Nordic.
Diversity is what it is. Not a strength, not a weakness. America has been populated by alot of different people for years. One reason I don't get alarmed when it comes to diversity.
