[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This question is strange. Do parents even tell their kids their career choices are based on diversity? And do you seriously think four years of college will change much, whether diversity is present or not? If a child has learned to adapt since childhood, they’ll likely succeed anywhere—including in the workplace.[/quote]

I do tell them they will be wiser if they can have diverse viewpoints to draw from. Diversity obviously makes the world a better place. Could you imagine if we only had American food to choose from, or 1 type of music or art... come one. it's not complicated. [/quote]

It depends. In my opinion, [b]some countries are better off remaining homogeneous—it’s culture-based[/b].[/quote]

This! Take a look at the environment in many (most?) smaller more homogenous countries and compare to our US now. The difference is easy to see.[/quote]

Forced diversity only works when no one games the system. Break the rules and conflict is inevitable, especially without a shared culture like the one that has held homogeneous societies together for centuries.[/quote]

You act like homogeneous systems don’t gain the system. We all know the age, long story of having to hire someone’s cousin who is completely incompetent, simply cause he’s white and male..[/quote]

What? Because you got the end of that cautionary tale wrong. You're describing the homogeneous system many immigrants are coming from and trying to implement here.[/quote]
