New Peer Reviewed Academic Study Finds Diversity is Not a Strength

A new peer reviewed study by Danish academics has found that ethnic diversity has a negative impact on communities because it erodes trust.

It turns out that diversity is not a strength after all. The study, entitled ‘Ethnic Diversity and Social Trust: A Narrative and Meta-Analytical Review’, was conducted by Peter Thisted Dinesen and Merlin Schaeffer from the University of Copenhagen and Kim Mannemar Sønderskov from Aarhus University.

Seeking to answer whether “continued immigration and corresponding growing ethnic diversity” was having a positive impact on community cohesion, the study found the opposite to be the case.

Studying existing literature and also carrying out a meta-analysis of 1,001 estimates from 87 studies, the researchers concluded, “We find a statistically significant negative relationship between ethnic diversity and social trust across all studies.”

Eric Kaufmann, Professor of Politics at the Birkbeck University of London, also tweeted about the study, commenting, “Higher diversity *is* significantly associated with lower trust in communities, even when controlling for deprivation.”

It is actually a different moral system/worldview. The highest good is what spreads and strengthens liberal ideology, even if it involves lying, fake hate crimes and suppressing the truth. Liberalism, especially social justice, mirrors Islam in that regard.

Separation of church and state may be easier than separation of science and state.

Try that in a Muslim state for a diverse result.

Yes you’re right. To liberals the ends justifies the means; whatever advances their agenda is “good”, anything that hinders it is “bad” and therefore needs to be attacked in any way possible.

Just look at Japan, or even Sweden before the massive immigration its traitorous, culturally suicidal, political elites imposed on it.

Of course similarities enhance local trust and respect.

THAT IS how the nation state, including many of the modern nation state’s developed - people with commonalties started or obtained a nation for themselves.

It was not the “nation state” that started the wars, it was the making of empires, or trying to protect an empire, or the seeking of an empire (Hitler) that started the wars.

The suicidal multiculurists think there is something bad and wrong about the Swedes being Swedes, the Japanese being Japanese, the French being French, the Italians being Italations and all the rest and every being peacefully obliging that we don’t all have to act alike and think alike, and that is O.K.

Gotta have a Code. Doesn’t matter what color the crayons are, there needs to be a box that keeps them all together and pointed in the same direction, preferably with a sharpener built in.

Diversity is OK when the new immigrants assimilate. With European Christian immigration, the Irish married the Poles, the Germans married the Italians, and after a couple of generations everyone was part of the same "American" mix.

It's very different when you have people coming in who don't mix.
