Summary
The problem with diversity is not that it makes us more creative, innovative, and creative. It s that it actually hurts us in the long-term. And it s not because diversity is bad for the economy, it s because it s bad for society.

For every cultural Marxist study contorting to prove how enriching diversity is, there are way
00:00:06.380
more that say otherwise, and many by leftists themselves, not the results they were hoping for.
00:00:12.200
Here's some studies. Increasing social pluralism, diversity, is correlated with increased chance of
00:00:18.020
collective violence. This is from the Journal of Peace Research. In Germany, residential diversity
00:00:23.760
reduces natives' trust in neighbors, while it also reduces immigrants' trust, but through a
00:00:29.040
different pathway. This is from Berlin Social Science Research Center. In Australia, ethnic diversity
00:00:34.700
lowers social cohesion and increases hunkering, providing support for Putnam's thesis finding
00:00:39.960
the same results in the U.S. Journal of Urban Affairs. Using data from U.S. states, study finds
00:00:45.940
a negative relationship between ethnic polarization and trust. This is from the Contemporary Economic
00:00:51.780
Policy. Diversity hinders between-group cooperation at both the one-on-one and group levels. This is
00:00:58.880
from the American Sociological Association. Ethnic homogeneity and Protestant traditions
00:01:04.200
positively impact individual and societal levels of social trust. This is from the Oxford Academic.
00:01:10.720
Our analysis supports the hypothesis that violence between groups can be inhibited by both physical
00:01:16.420
and political boundaries. This is from the Geography of Ethnic Violence by Springer. In Switzerland,
00:01:22.660
social peace between diverse factions isn't maintained by integrated coexistence, but rather by strong,
00:01:28.600
topographic, and political borders that separate groups and allow them autonomy. This is from the
00:01:34.100
Public Library of Science. The negative effect of community diversity on social cohesion is likely
00:01:40.360
causal. Oxford Academic. Social trust is negatively affected by ethnic diversity. This is from a case
00:01:46.820
study in Denmark from 1979 to the present by the Scandinavian Political Studies. An increase in immigration is
00:01:53.800
related to a decrease in social trust. Oxford Academic. More diverse areas reported lower levels
00:02:00.020
of trust in their neighbors. Diversity hurts civic life. This is from Harvard political scientist Robert
00:02:05.980
Putnam, who was really disappointed by the study, by the way. Blast from the past. 2007 New York Slimes.
00:02:12.300
The downside of diversity. The greater the diversity in a community, the fewer people vote,
00:02:17.560
and the less they volunteer, the less they give to charity and work on community projects. Virtually
00:02:23.560
all measures of civil health are lower and more diverse settings. And what is the lefty response?
00:02:30.160
No, you have to think long term. Never mind division now. Long run. It will all work out. Long term.
00:02:37.900
Never mind a few bodies here and there along the way. They hope everyone long term will mix out into a
00:02:44.460
goo of sameness. Lefties also argue that diversity makes people more innovative, more creative, and
00:02:50.700
more understanding. Okay, first off, before mandatory diversity, are you saying white people weren't
00:02:56.760
innovative and creative until they hired minorities and trans people? And as the Harvard Business Review
00:03:02.680
pointed out, force feeding diversity will create bias. If you force people to like you, they are not
00:03:08.760
going to like you. They will rebel against the authority trying to thought police them. This
00:03:14.000
article continues, in analyzing three decades worth of data from more than 800 U.S. firms and interviewing
00:03:19.960
hundreds of line managers and executives at length, we've seen that companies get better results when
00:03:25.720
they ease up on the control tactics. The positive effects of diversity training rarely last beyond a day
00:03:31.880
or two. And a number of studies suggest that it can activate bias or spark a backlash. What? People don't like
00:03:39.120
being controlled and thought policed? Told what to think and feel? Adults don't like being treated like
00:03:44.280
children? And they don't like being told who to hire? Oh, why people don't like being blamed for everything?
00:03:50.380
Shocking. Instead of spending time focusing on solving real problems, we take classes on diversity. Studies show that
00:03:58.020
diverse groups are more innovative and creative. Translation. Cultural Marxist studies show that
00:04:03.060
less white people means more awesomeness. Diverse groups encourage people to think on a global level.
00:04:09.000
Yeah, because you can't just think about your community. You have to think about Nigeria and the
00:04:12.520
entire world too, because that's what makes genius happen. Right. And diversity makes America's
00:04:18.140
workforce and militaries more competitive. No, mandatory diversity actually takes away real competition.
00:04:24.600
And how many times have militaries been infiltrated by foreign spies? Oh no, but diversity is our
00:04:30.320
strength. Reality is, multiculturalism leads to conflict. We're trying to prevent it. They're
00:04:35.980
forcing it to happen. Living in a dream world, thinking you could shove millions of incompatible
00:04:40.560
cultures together, enforce liberal values, give them dildos, and then all will be a kumbaya fest.
00:04:46.640
Who wants to be a drag queen when they grow up?
