re: This employee shortage isn't letting up

Is your point that voluntary "organic" assimilation works better than forced assimilation?

No.

Assimilation into a superior, more productive culture works better.

That force is a byproduct of an inferior, less productive culture.

The myth is that diversity is a strength when people assume that we're talking about mixing up different cultures and getting that positive output. Diversity is a strength within a positive culture where you have diverse people who want to assimilate within that culture. They bring certain perspectives and outlooks that can help a super monolithic culture lose its blinders and develop positively.

However, this myth that all cultures are equal and should be respected promotes the associated myth that "diversity is a strength" means that large populations with different cultures end up more positive and that's just hogwash.
