re: Is there any historical evidence of diversity working out?

All in all, the US is more diverse and more successful than the rest of the planet - especially those with homogeneous populations.

Yeah we found the brainwashed 20 something. Live some life kid and come back and tell us how your perspective has changed.

Say what you want about the state we are in, but would you rather be... Japan?

Because of our Constitution written by a decidedly non-diverse group. The US was still 80% white in 1990.

Norway, Sweden, Finland, are doing poorly?

"One of the most comprehensive studies of diversity was created by a team of scholars from Harvard University, World Bank, Stanford, and New York University and published in the Journal of Economic Growth in a paper called "Fractionalization." In that study the US is the 90th most diverse out of 216 countries. Many African countries rank at the top along with many in the Middle East.

It's not diversity that powers/powered US growth, it was capitalism and better laws.
