Fair enough. If you want to broaden your perspective visit Canada. Toronto, Montreal, Edmonton, etc, and you will add to what you observe.
Canada is a much younger country than the US, so the US has no excuse. BUt then the US has right leaning southern hard core racists who hate history and are still eager to refight the civil war. I tend to think that is the issue and not the 'diversity'.
I have in fact been to Montreal, Toronto, and Vancouver on the west coast.
Nice places all, but I'm not allowed to emigrate to any of them so they're just that--nice places.
Even if we end bigotry and establish some measure of harmony among the various ethnicities that form our population,
we'll still never have the solidarity of homogeneous populations.
We'll be much better than we are now--we'll be as good as we can be, if we're lucky.
We'll never have the strength of people among their own.
We don't relate to one another that way, so we have fewer collective initiatives .
That, at least, is my observation.
In any case, it doesn't relate to me that much.
My children chose to not have kids,
so my direct line family's American footprint will have only spanned three American born generations
and I take some comfort in that.
