Let's see....you say that diversity can only be achieved by force...I grew up in a town where there were Russian Jews, WASPS, Catholics, Italians, Irish, Puerto Ricans, Chinese, Greeks, gays, straights, athletes, disabled, geniuses, idiots, tall people, midgets....I don't remember the force part...did I miss something?

Look, if you believe that people love to socialize with 'diverse' strangers rather than 'their own', fine. Try to believe it 'very, very strongly', perhaps you will find that all it takes is to replace reality with your favorite illusion. But, I believe that that this was not the initial topic of this thread. Someone simply asked why is 'diversity' desirable. Is it? And if yes, then... why?

Incidentally, you could say (I wouldn't) that I am in a 'diverse' family myself. My wife grew up approx. 12 time zones from here and we are VERY happily married. But, you know what? Diversity played ABSOLUTELY NO ROLE in our decision to marry. 'Diversity' is a political/propagandistic concept, several times removed from lives that real people live. Normal people don't speak/think/act in terms of diversity. Professional ideologues and a-moral, power-hungry politicians do.
