Diversity is fine, if it’s natural.
Forcing it towards any group creates division.

False.
Freedom and work ethic is our strength. America is more free than anywhere else in the history of our planet. And in America you can be any color, Creed, or code and work your arse off everyday and make a better life for you and your children. That is an inarguabale and consistently proven fact. Anyone who says otherwise is lieing.
The American Dream is the ability to work your arse off everyday to build a better life for your family and future. It is not to walk into this country and be handed money and a life on main street without effort.
A great man is one who plants a tree knowing he will never sit in its shade.
I don't give a shite what race or gender you are. Neither does success or failure.
Diversity quotas and celebrations for diversity's sake do nothing but divide and weaken us. And this is done on purpose.

Diversity was nice when we were accepting most of Germany's top scientists into the country before WWII.
I think we should have an achievement test to get in.
If you live in one of the triple crown shite holes in Central America and you love your family so much that you have the courage to walk across the entire state of Mexico with basically the shirt on your back, just for the small chance of being able to better yourself in America,
then you're in.
If we were to run out of room, we can kick out some worthless coach potatoes that don't do anything but post on politic boards all day.

I have no problem with diversity, I have a problem with the way it's being served.
But then there are so many who reject diversity, that it has to be shoved down our throats for the retards. Least common denominator and all...

I don't know if that's necessarily the case especially since you're including the history of the planet
You could argue that we're less free than we were 20 years ago

Diversity is on display in most trouble spots in the world. See the Balkans for an example. But I think it is fairly obvious that Northern Europe is a safer place than most African and Sub Saharan and Balkan countries. Probably due to a combo of diverse religions and peoples and cultures in those places. We as a nation are fortunate enough to be able to assist the poor here and assimilate them because of that wealth. Although you can see the seeds of discontent being sown here with some of the new pols elected to represent some of the diverse population. Israel is a safe place primarily since it is largely homogeneous.
I had an interesting class once upon a time and the professor pointed out one thing that has stuck with me through the years. Prejudice is the oldest and most used and most successful survival technique among all creatures. Animal and humans. I believe no one size fits all but it has been proven that a central strong culture is a strong base for survival.

Years ago I worked for a company that was making a push for diversity. “Strength through diversity”. Company was started in the late 60’s by a few white guys. By the late 80’s about 10% of mid level management is of color. I left in 2000 and about half of employees at all levels are of color, except top executive. In 2012 an African American is named CEO. My best friend told this week that he and one other whitey are the only two left in the top four levels of management. Both have been there for over 20 years. Not one new white person hired to upper level management in 7 years. Now they have achieved diversity?

Thanks for linking Dr. Putnam's study.
Diversity of function is fine, e.g., a football team needs players that can run fast, catch passes, block, plug holes, etc.
Diversity of form is as best useless. Yet, almost every major company assumes this now.
IMO, there is no inherent value in diversifying America. That we are diversifying without assimilation is hurtful.

Our HR director vetoed the most experience candidate, in my presence, because he was a white male. And didn’t meet our diversity needs.
I eventually worked with that man at another company. And he was great, he was very good at what he did.
He was also very gay. And if the director had known that at the time. That would have completely changed the conversation. The job would have been his.
This is no way to operate a business, or live life.
