False.

It is neither a strength or a weakness. It merely exists or it doesn’t.

There is little international evidence that culturally diverse or racially diverse nations are stronger than homogenous nations.

This is a google drive link to Robert Putnams 2007 study.

He deserves praise for publishing it, one because it’s interesting and pertinent, but more importantly, because the data made him uncomfortable.

The more diverse a community, the less trusting it is.

People “bunker down” his words. So you see less community involvement, and people are much less invested in each other. Individuals have fewer friends and are generally less happy. These communities aren’t as healthy as their more homogeneous peers.

There’s actually evidence to the contrary.

I disagree with this.

It's both a strength and a weakness. You could make a pretty strong argument that it's a net weakness. It's definitely not nothing.
