Ever notice that the countries that "diverse" people come from are never diverse themselves?

I realize we don't live there, but wouldn't you at least like to tell other countries to be more diverse. If not, what it is about western countries that we have to be Diverse, while say Hondorus, pakistan, Nigeria, don't?

What is it about the west where we have to change, while other nations do not?

Well....that is not quite right. Pakistan and especially Nigeria are very ethnically diverse. In fact, by total number of ethnic groups, I think Nigeria wins the prize- and they are predictably at each others' throats.

I take your point, but you may want to find other examples.

I believe you are mistaken. Its NOT the liberals that lead the way interferring and dictating with the way other countries choose to mandate or dictate how someone should live their lives, that would be the.

Because we have spineless politicians that continuously kowtow to the leftist minority.

So libs, are we better than non diverse countries because we are diverse, hence the nondiverse countries these people of diversity come from are inferior?

Or is there something wrong with us that we need to be more diverse to fix?

Does Japan need fixing, or is in inferior?

Japan is known for its xenophobic and otherwise horrible racial intolerance. However they are free just like we are to act that way.

Should they act that way? I don't think so, but then again that's what freedom is about, right?

I would suggest that there are positives to being diverse while still maintaining a sense of national identity. I have the power to change the culture I'm living in rather than worry about a country that I can't and don't have a explicit relationship with.

Don't forget that a few years ago, you could be forbidden from displaying an american flag at your office for fear it might offend people (being people not from the USA)
