It's not a zero sum game.
It's not 'us' against 'them' and of you think in those terms the only person being hurt is yourself.
Muh Tyranny of the majority

No one has said us against them. But forced diversity for the sake of diversity leads to inefficient outcomes.

I saw a cartoon that pretty much got it spot on
It was a side by side cartoon of a man traveling the world and visiting different cultures, vs. the man having different cultures forced on him where he currently lives
If anyone can find it and post it that would be great because I can't find it anywhere
Edit: Found it

I think experiencing and appreciating different culture is huge for learning and growth.
Let’s say you had a bunch of rich, well raised, black/white/Asian/Hispanics all in a school together. It would probably be great for all involved.
I think the problem you are pointing out is when diversity and different economic classes are forced to mix. In that case, yes, I agree that it only benefits some.

Diversity is strength. The more types of people inside your tent, the fewer there are trying to tear the tent down. We got a big tent, let's all celebrate that humanity has made it this far and stop living like cavemen. Us vs them only benefits a select few and leads down a path of brutality and bodies.
Also, you don't understand averages.

All of this "better together" and "diversity makes us stronger" push is just bs. I agree that diversity can be a good thing, but only when it's naturally done. Similar to socialism, diversity for the sake of diversity only helps minorities and can actually hurt the group overall.
You're not raising everyone up. You're bringing some down to make a worse overall average.
Y'know, I could not disagree more. From personal experience I can tell you that I have been placed in settings that did not develop organically wherein I was exposed to other people, other races, other sexual orientations, and other ethnic backgrounds and each and every time my views, perceptions and preconcieved stereotypes changed in a way that made me a better person.
What are you so afraid of?

Diversity is great for kids. The world is diverse. Why not shed light on that early on?
And don’t get me started on “Asian”.
You better be brown Asian to get any victim points. They don’t want white or yellow Asians in their club.
It’s all a bunch of horseshite

But what happens when the people you bring in the tent want to still tear the tent down, or kick you out of the tent and take it for their own?

Which is why these groups are now referred to as "white adjacent" to distinguish good asian from bad (too successful) asian.

It’s like when if you are black and start to think for yourself or question the progressive narrative they’ll call you an Uncle Tom or a House ******

Forced diversity creates more racists, not less, as illustrated in the cartoon I posted above.
It comes down to free will vs. forcing. When people are free to explore diverse cultures and societies, that's good. When people are forced to experience them, it creates tension.

There is no group more ruthless than blacks against other blacks that step out of line with regard to politics.

I prefer "absence of color". I'd appreciate if you respect my wishes going forward. Thanks.

White people diversifying a non white area = colonization
Non white people diversifying a white area= progress

Would you rather be Canada or Europe? Less diverse than the US.

Because they're not minorities.
