Idiot Earthlings will insist on diversity when colonizing distant stars.

"Diversity" as a goal of the Left is actually a war on the true diversity of Mankind. (See "Diversity In Context".) The promotion actually breaks down the ability of any community to resist tyranny.

This medical point, in this thread, is a natural consequence of the social dynamics involved, as are higher crime rates, and less ability to resist Socialist indoctrination.

What is the point of such nonsensical correlation / causation confusion “studies? To form ‘Diversity Reduction Committees’ which will line up the “diversity causers” and shoot them?

I call BS on this. Which neighborhood you live in or whether they are your “peeps” has nothing to do with whether you’ll get cancer. Nothing. What an incredibly stupid study.

Diversity may be fatal, says new government health study

Ain't that the truth!

The reduced death rate in “ethnically dense” neighborhoods may occur because similar neighbors are “likely to share values like respect for elders and have close-knit family structures,”

Sooooo. Elderly blacks will experience a greater sense of well-being in the ghetto where "similar neighbors are “likely to share values like respect for elders and have close-knit family structures"?

OK. Happy to hear "diversity" being questioned, but I'm not too sure about this particular justification.

Diversity was redefined when libs found out Americans hated racial quotas. The word quota was thrown out and diversity substituted. It’s all a flim-flam by the race industry.

From the article, regarding blacks, “were 46% less likely to report doctor-diagnosed heart disease and 77% less likely to report cancer than those who lived in an ethnic density of less than 25%...”

Well, as a black person with a PhD and knowing something about studies, blacks, black neighborhoods, and the medical care rec’d by blacks, both with and without money, I’m going to say that blacks in black neighborhoods didn’t have a lot of doctor-diagnosed diseases because they weren’t seeing doctors.

This can be for a variety of reasons - even with medicare (since the sample used people over 65), there are costs related to medical care and some people choose to do without medical care if it will cost them. Some people don’t like to go to doctors. I know from my own and others’ research that blacks will often lie to researchers, especially if the researcher isn’t black.

My own view - if I lived in the ‘Gold Coast’ of DC or another high income black area, that might be one thing, but on the whole, I’d rather live in a diversified, shoot, I’d rather live in a mostly white, professional class neighborhood with its attendant benefits and services.
