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

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.

The more ‘diverse’ we become the worse everything becomes. We are on a downward trajectory regardless of who is in political office due to Illegal Immigration and anchor babies. These people haven’t improved this country they’ve made it worse.

Diversity is a poison thrust upon us by our enemies who want to bring us down.

There is no
“Strength through diversity”
That’s a feel good motto that has no basis in reality.

You want to fly on a plane that’s pilot was chosen to make them more diverse or do you want the most qualified?

Diversity is a nice idea.It is not beneficial on its face. It can work when you speak of ideas but not otherwise. Diversity of Skin color or culture are superficial.

Character and capability are the 2 main criteria that matter

I suspect your reference leans more to racially divisive efforts of neo-Marxists. With their influence, leftists now consider an inclusive adoption of things like Cinco de Mayo, Native American art or garb or nomenclature to be "cultural appropriation," and highly inappropriate. It is the literal antithesis to previous diverse inclusion directed toward a common goal. The leftist effort is to segregate ethnicities as a means of dividing and conquering the populace.

As usual, you highlight the nub of the situation clearly.

I have long thought we need to enforce 'English Only" for any kind of official documentation, proceeding, and citizenship. Multi-lingual is a fantastic asset, but our culture needs to accommodate the common man.

We should stop apologizing for the world's sins at the time of our founding. Our forefathers did what every successful specie in history has always done - and that is to take the world as it is and work to IMPROVE if within the bounds of our capability and moral fortitude. This is how all of linourishving organisms have come to survive until today - thank GOD all the non-productive 'experiments of nature' are no longer with us to contend with - and nourish.

Let any immigrant come in who can benefit our society - or at least provide for his own needs. There is no benefit to promoting the importation of more 'welfare leeches.'

As for helping out in disasters - here and abroad - there has NEVER been a more charitable society than the American culture of the early 1900s. We have sacrificed that great trait for a "government" which doles out other people's money in shallow attempts to purchase their votes in the next election - not for the future benefit of society.

Just a buzzword for "weakening European-based cultures".

Diversity works when there is a common, foundational culture that transcends nationality - happened in America - and we observe glimpses even today, particularly with Asian Americans and Latino Americans.

If one's nationality or some other foolish notion, such as gender identity or race or ethnicity, are foundationally predominant - no, diversity has no chance for 'my right to myself supercedes the community at-large'

You have to define diversity to answer this question. If you are talking about the current liberal American definition of racial diversity, it means anything but white people and Asian people. In other words, the people the Biden administration actively tried to keep out of Harvard in the Students for Fair Admissions v. Harvard affirmative action case last year.

When it comes to what they mean by diversity, look at what they do, not what they say.
