Yeah. I’m in my 50’s and spent significant time in other countries. Exit the echo chamber.

Buddy, you just counted India among non-diverse nations...

"Diversity" in progressive liberal theology is "open/accepted discrimination against white people".

Its just a talking point.

Diversity of thought is important at times, race or gender should have nothing to do with that at all.

Progressive "diversity" is forced radical multiculturalism, not diversity.

There isn’t much. In fact, if you’re using history as a guide, diversity is almost always rather detrimental to society. The Austro-Hungarian Empire and Roman Empire are prime examples of diversity weakening societies and making them more susceptible to collapse. Yugoslavia is another prime example of the dangers of a non-homogeneous society.

Really the only example of a diverse society working is the US from around the mid-19th to early 20th centuries. But what’s different about the US is that those who immigrated here assimilated to American society, taking on aspects of American culture and blending it with their own. This is where the term “great melting pot” came about. And it was very successful. It was helped that for the most part they came from societies that shared a common Christian foundation.

Where things have gone wrong is immigrants are no longer encouraged to assimilate, and come from cultures that have little to no shared commonality. They no longer want to come here and become “American”, instead they want their culture to come here and replace ours. The result is our country is becoming Balkanized.

ETA: you can take your worthless downvote and shove it straight up your arse. You can dislike my statement, but you can’t argue against it from a factual standpoint. Facts don’t care about your feelings.

Up until the hart-celller inmmigration act in 1965, The United States was not very diverse, it was close to 90% white, and it was doing pretty well.

And 90%+ Christian but they were comprised of people from English Isles, France, Netherlands, Belgium, Germany, Italy, and Poland. The Italians and Polish didn't arrived until the 1870s-1930s as well. They were different from each other but still had some core similarities. Meanwhile today's immigrants from the Middle East and Africa are different in almost every way.

Diversity becomes the melting pot.
Then it works.

We used to be considered the melting pot.

You can make an argument with the advancements in technology it makes it easier for people to isolate themselves. Back in the late 1800s to early 1900s the newer immigrants had to partake in their communities because all they could do with people in their home country was send letters which obviously took a long time.

Now they can use the internet to communicate with their home country and friends immediately. Stops them having to conform.

Meaningless in context.

Speaking of context, you are missing some. I'm directly responding to someone who brought up India and the lack of diversity within a given caste.

Nope

Yep. We’ve created a way of life based on 250 years of foreign cultural blending, yet the champions of multiculturalism want that destroyed in favor of segregated sub-communities existing in their own cultural echo chambers.

The progressive lies are beyond stale. Theyre not celebrating multiculturalism, theyre destroying themselves and dont even realize it.

Diversity is having a left handed pitcher and a right handed pitcher, not a black and white pitcher. Progressives are really shallow human beings.
