I always hear phrases like "diversity is great" or "our diversity is our strength", but I have never heard anyone actually give any tangible benefits of diversity. However, I can list dozens, if not hundreds of ways diversity harms our societies and I have all the statistics and all of human history to back up my claims. These include an increase in crime rates, greater balkanization, an increase in government welfare and social spending, an increase in taxes to pay for the welfare and social programs, a less civilized and unified culture, and a decrease in education standards, just to name a few.

So, if diversity is so wonderful, then what are it's tangible benefits that will compensate for it's great costs? Other than better food, I can't think of any, and I have never heard anyone be able to list any.

Also, if diversity is sooo great, then why do we have to pass laws to force people to be diverse, and why do we need constant propoganda and political correctness supporting it? If it really was that great, wouldn't people naturally become diverse?

And if diversity is soooooo great, then why has diversity always been a destabilizing factor in every society it has been tried in throughout human history? Hmmmmm?

The major white nations of the world are the nations in Europe, and also Australia, New Zealand, Canada, and the U.S. All of these nations were founded and built by whites. If you can name one Indian who signed the US Constitution, then you might have a point, but you can't. :-)

the thing is that diversity is not only a black and white thing diversity also includes how we are different within groups for example the football team we choose to support and white nations have always been diverse from roman invasions, American Indians, aboriginal people in Australia, slavery and from empire building. diversity is not a new thing. a society with little cultural diversity can become stagnant and inward looking. diversity brings us greater choice and connection and understanding not only in the food we eat but new ways of looking at things new perspectives and different viewpoints. as a world we are becoming more connected for example globalization and the Internet so it is important that a nation is diverse to move forward. some of the arguments you have made above for example education standards are not really connected to diversity.
its important to see both the advantages and disadvantages of diversity before you can make an un-bias desission on it.

because of the fact traditionally "Whiteys are mean lazy stealing bastards that pass around enslaving every person and colonizing the whole international, yet all non-Whites are angels". verify your historical past, this is a real assertion that U make. Whites traveled the whole globe think of that they have been entitled to take over. Now they opt to forget that and purely enable it pass, yet every person continues to be living under the shadow of imperialism. And by ability of how racial variety does help every person, yet to no longer many white opt to pass to all black faculties or Jewish neighborhoods, or stay in Asian international locations and white subculture is (and has constantly been) constantly glamorized in media. yet you will discover many Jewish, blacks, and Hispanics could like the prospect to take exhilaration in the privileges of the white subculture that are robotically denied. the subject it that whites think of that different cultures are sooo undesirable and jeopardize the main significant pass subculture. whilst racial and ethnic variety particularly complements it -- new flavors, recommendations, varieties and ideology can emerge and advance the main significant pass subculture. So question for u, why do white human beings want so badly to deny all the advantages and privileges that their international plundering and invasions have reaped? BTW -- i do no longer think of whites are evil and the customary public of them are no longer even undesirable human beings. I purely desire that they had very own as much as their area of the historic, endemic, and systematic abuses and attempt to compensate for no less than a number of it, and end performing like a number of non-white who remember or has examine international historical past is choosing at them.

you seem to be using diversity to refer to races,,,, in fact it applies to much more,,,,, we are a diverse nation,,,,, racially and in many other ways,,, so its not a matter of making the nation diverse, but of accepting it and having equality for all,,,,, no one racial group is over represented in welfare and our social programs,,, and our welfare budget is so tiny compared to our military budget,,,,, which by the way, minorities are over-represented in the lower ranks of the military,,,,, does that also bother you? diversity does not cost us anything,, we have never been a "white nation" nor are we now,,,,,,
ps: if you think we should not be for diversity, that the majority should rule, well females are the majority of this country,,,, males are the minority, lets leave out race and go with gender,,,, do you wish to be a second class citizen because you are not in the majority? i think not !
