Journal alternative_right's Journal: Diversity Does Not Work 2
Diversity -- the presence of multiple ethnic groups in a nation -- does not work, which means it can never achieve the function it was intended for.
Even worse, it destroys those nations by erasing culture, allowing bureaucracy and commerce to take over.
Eventually, diversity leads to conflict between these ethnic groups through passive-aggressive means.
Finally, the groups hybridize, and you get humans with none of the distinctive traits of any of the constituent groups.
It is like putting everything in your refrigerator in the blender, tossing in a rat and a bird, and making a smoothie.
You think you will get the power of everything combined, but you get the power averaged which turns it into nothing.
Diversity will do the same to your nation if you allow it.

The problem is that if you choose a diverse cord just for diversity's sake, you could easily wind up with a cord that is actually completely unsuited to the work.
A diversity of WHAT is the key question to ask.
