Diversity Sucks!

Sorry to be vulgar about it, folks, but it really does. (You can buy this bumper sticker HERE.)  The basic theory we're all operating under these days is kind of paradoxical.  First, everybody, is equal — that includes all races, ethnic groups, religious groups, national-origin groups, whatever — totally equal, no difference whatsoever.  The second element is that all these totally equal people are no good unless they're mixed with other totally equal people.  See the contradiction there?  If you do see a contradiction, report immediately to your local commissar for diversity training.  Sheesh.

In the real world, human groups are actually quite different, and not equal at all in any meaningful sense.  But never mind whether they're equal or not, whatever that might mean. The question is whether mixing them together (which is what "diversity" seems to mean in our Brave New World) is a good thing, a neutral thing, or a downright bad thing. If you look at such things on a case-by-case basis, you're going to get different answers, because different things are, well, different.

An interesting case study is Lawrence, Massachusetts, where the diversicrats decided that a nice big infusion of Domincans (not monks, but people from the Dominican Republic) was just what the boring White Bread city needed.  Matthew Richer tells us what transpired HERE.
