#1 Diversity is the strength of the Left - divide and conquer.

#2 Diversity might actually be a good thing but should never be promoted at the expense of one ethnic group over another. Open borders and Affirmative Action are real problems because they do just that. Certain minorities get jobs and promotions they don't deserve at the expense of those who are deserving because of Affirmative Action. Open borders dilute the votes of legal citizens when illegal aliens vote.

#3 Diversity presumes the existence of its opposite.

Without a common culture based on shared values and agreed-upon definitions -- of worth, of fairness, of honor and beauty, truth and goodness -- without this foundation of a unified culture, diversity just means incoherence and disarray.

Case in point: we could easily assimilate millions of early 20c immigrants because the Italians, Irish, Greeks, Armenians, Poles, even the Mexicans of that era who came to the US quickly adopted the national culture that had come into being at the end of the 19th century.

By 1941, these groups had become more American than the Americans, proudly serving in the military and brandishing their patriotic pride -- especially during their legacy ethnic holiday celebrations (St Pat's, Columbus Day etc).

Today all the cultural force is centrifugal. There is no "unum," only pluribus. Diversity in this era is disastrous -- the opposite of what we need.

#4 And back then 'diversity' just happened as a natural adaption.

Now it's being forced-fed. - Affirmative Action, etc...
