Bratwurst Boy: Nobody wants that! But the old way of the Europeans has been wandering, mingling and mixing...we are the european race with celtic, slavic and germanic parts. There is nothing wrong with going back to the roots again! Where I draw the line is non-european immigration which don't fit into the european cultural heritage and don't even show any interest to fit in. So, diversity isn't diversity (I'm sure the same holds true between european Americans and non-european Americans)
That's true.
That's the key. Diversity between various groups of people is only successful when they all put loyalty FIRST to the country they live in an not the other way around, ie to their ethnic/national roots. In my opinion, hundreds of years ago when Europeans (including Jews) were ultra-nationalistic and ethno-centric, when they lived in Poland they were loyal first to their own ethnic tribe and then second to Poland. That's part of the reason why Poland was partioned. Poland was dying from the inside, like a body dies from a disease. Which made it easier for outside countries to divide it up.
We see that "put loyalty to my ethnic tribe first" mentality here in the US with recent illegal immigrants in the US which is bad. That "my ethnic tribe first" mentality will only lead to the Balkanization of the US as it did to Poland during the partitions.
Today it does appear that the more different people are from one another, the harder for them to "mix" or get along with one another. I think that's just human nature.
