A candidate for mayor in my city announced at a fund raising event for the local Food Pantry last night, that we are the second most “diverse” city in MA. Some applauded. Most of us just looked at each other trying to figure out why that is a positive. The biggest complaint I hear about the city is that nobody knows their neighbors anymore.
We often hear liberals talk about celebrating diversity. Diversity is our strength and all that.
The homosexual community urges us to celebrate diversity of a different type.
But the unspoken, unwritten assumption is that diversity is a good thing.
Due to political correctness, we can’t openly question these assumptions.

As far as all these racial/ethnic categories are concerned, it may not portend problems.
A multi-ethnic America is ok as long as all these various peoples adhere to our values. A multi-cultural America will become balkanized, and will erode our country and culture.
There’s a difference between being multi-ethnic and multi-cultural.
Immigrants coming to America to become part of America and working for America is a good thing. Immigrants or groups such as Muslims who want to fundamentally transform America is not a good thing.
The racial/ethnic diversity is part of this larger discussion about what America will look like in the future.
If I recall correctly, today, over 50% of Kindergarten students are members of some minority group or other. There’s your next generation. We’ll see how many assimilate and how many demand to be separatists of one kind or another.
California’s population was 37.6 percent Hispanic/Latino, 14.9 percent Asian, 7.2 black — and 42.3 percent non-Hispanic white.
So whites are now a minority.
