If you didn’t see this one coming, you just weren’t looking. For most of our country’s history, we’ve celebrated diversity in our population as if it were a good thing, but one look at world history will show you that no country with a diverse population of different races, languages, and religion has long survived.
Countries don’t naturally form with a diverse population, and when in the past they’ve occurred, it has usually been as the result of armed conquest. These unnaturally formed countries have either melded together into a population made up of one mixed race with one language and one religion or they’ve come apart, and they’ve usually come apart with extreme violence. The longer these diverse populations are forced to coexist with one another without mixing and becoming one, the more the hatred grows among them and the more violently they break apart, but break apart they will.
So, with this history lesson in mind, what future do you see for our country? Will we someday soon become one people made up of olive skinned, dark haired, Spanish speaking Muslims, or will we break up into three or four small (Balkanized) third-world countries that hate their neighboring country’s guts?

Until 100 years ago the WASP ethic was held up as an ideal for immigrants to aspire to (and they did, and succeeded); when that was torn down by misfits it all fell apart. I say this as an Irish Catholic; conservatives still win the WASP states, and Dems win the toilets filled with everything else...
