Diversity as a modern day cultural/ political movement? Absolutely not - zero benefit. Diversity as a general idea? Of course... food/ music/ architecture/ art, etc. Especially the contributions of European nations and the people who came to the US from there.

Our music wasn't always toxic. BB King, Scott Joplin, Marvin Gaye, Art Tatum, Fats Domino, Charlie Parker, and countless others contributed to American music.

Rap is a cancer, and I wish it wasn't as popular as it is.

Since a lot of this discussion is targeted at Latinos, who are of Western culture (and also predominantly of Western-European genetics), what's the new demarcation?


mexico and Central America are not predominantly Western European.

Also, if mexico and Central America had western culture, they wouldn’t be 3rd world uneducated narco-states from which a sizeable chunk of their population has had to bail to seek asylum and benefits.

It used to be "we want to promote Western culture" but that seems to be out the window at this point.

This is a good point. The biggest failure is not putting strong pressure on diverse cultures to assimilate. One language, no affirmative action, meritocracy and actual equal treatment under the law.

Government mandated diversity has been a total failure for America.

Americans, for the most part are decent people and would've figured it out sooner or later. Diversity, or Civil Rights mandated by the Government only accomplished driving people farther apart, while creating a billion dollar quagmire rooted in Liberal Courts and NGO's. A lot of people made a lot of money in the name of diversity and civil rights.

Western language (Spanish)

Western religion (Catholicism)
Western governments and institutions

Yeah I really hate having all these amazing food options from every cuisine imaginable in Houston.

I’d rather eat meatloaf every day.

I agree that the government shouldn't mandate diversity through affirmative action or quotas. However, I believe that discrimination based upon race should continue to be prohibited...

The people coming from Mexico and nicagragua are not predominantly white Spanish and Portuguese. South texas and the barrio parts of Houston look nothing like spain. The skin color nickname for these people is even called “brown”.

Mexican Women’s Mitochondrial DNA Primarily Native American

Avg male height Spain: 5’-9”
Avg male height mexico: 5’-7”

Avg female height Spain: 5’-4”
Avg female height mexico: 5’-2”


Holy frick I’m not sure why I even bother responding to some of this.

Neither grok nor Google AI consider Mexico (and south) western civilization.

Google:

what countries are considered "the west" or "western civilization"

quote:

"The West" or Western civilization generally refers to a group of countries sharing common cultural, political, and historical roots, including Western Christianity, democratic systems, and Greco-Roman heritage. Core nations include Western/Northern Europe, Canada, the USA, Australia, and New Zealand, with definitions often extending to Central/Southern Europe.


Again, none of these are 3rd-world uneducated narco states.

But they assimilated into the country after a generation or so. The white town doesn’t seem to be a thing but China town, Muslim and black regions in inner cities ( it’s gentrification if you and others try to fix up housing and move there).
