Harvard professor of political science Robert D. Putnam conducted a nearly decade long study how multiculturalism affects social trust. He surveyed 26,200 people in 40 American communities, finding that–when the data were adjusted for class income and other factors–the more racially diverse a community is, the greater the loss of trust. People in diverse communities “don’t trust the local mayor, they don’t trust the local paper, they don’t trust other people and they don’t trust institutions,” writes Putnam. In the presence of such ethnic diversity, Putnam maintains that “…we hunker down. We act like turtles. The effect of diversity is worse than had been imagined. And it’s not just that we don’t trust people who are not like us. In diverse communities, we don’t trust people who do look like us. Even Halyard knows this is all a pile of “feel good” shit. Like a religion, it relies on persecuting those who don’t agree to keep itself mainstream thought. After the study was released, Putnam was intimidated and harassed because he was accused of helping racists. He later came out and gave a very vague statement saying diversity “had problems but was worth it in the long run” to keep these morons appeased. This statement gives no indication of the “long run” and, in fact, is not quantified by anything. http://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/j.1467-9477.2007.00176.x/abstract ~:~ According to conflict theory, distrust between ethnic groups rises with diversity, but not within a group. Putnam describes people of all races and socioeconomic statuses, ages, and both sexes as “hunkering down,” avoiding engagement with their local community–both among different ethnic groups and within their own ethnic group. Even when controlling for income inequality and crime rates–two factors which conflict theory states should be the prime causal factors in declining interethnic group trust–more diversity is still associated with less communal trust. Lowered trust in areas with high diversity is also associated with: Lower confidence in local government, local leaders, and the local news media Lower political efficacy–that is, confidence in one’s own influence Lower frequency of registering to vote, but more interest and knowledge about politics and more participation in protest marches and social reform groups. Higher political advocacy, but lower expectations that it will bring about a desirable result Less expectation that others will cooperate to solve dilemmas of collective action (e.g. voluntary conservation to ease a water or energy shortage) Less likelihood of working on a community project Less likelihood of giving to charity or volunteering Fewer close friends and confidants Less happiness and lower perceived quality of life More time spent watching television and more agreement that “television is my most important form of entertainment” Putnam’s study was published in 2001. Genetic cluster analysis of the micro satellite markers produced four major clusters, which showed near perfect correspondence with the four self-reported race/ethnicity categories. Of 3636 subjects, only 5 (0.14%) showed genetic cluster membership different from their self-identified race/ethnicity. http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/15625622 ~:~ Good Fences: The Importance of Setting Boundaries for Peaceful Coexistence Alex Rutherford, Dion Harmon, Justin Werfel, Shlomiya Bar-Yam, Alexander Gard-Murray, Andreas Gros, Yaneer Bar-Yam We consider the conditions of peace and violence among ethnic groups, testing a theory designed to predict the locations of violence and interventions that can promote peace. Characterizing the model’s success in predicting peace requires examples where peace prevails despite diversity. Switzerland is recognized as a country of peace, stability, and prosperity. This is surprising because of its linguistic and religious diversity that in other parts of the world lead to conflict and violence. Here we analyze how peaceful stability is maintained. Our analysis shows that peace does not depend on integrated coexistence, but rather on well-defined topographical and political boundaries separating groups. Mountains and lakes are an important part of the boundaries between sharply defined linguistic areas. Political canton and circle (sub-canton) boundaries often separate religious groups. Where such boundaries do not appear to be sufficient, we find that specific aspects of the population distribution either guarantee sufficient separation or sufficient mixing to inhibit intergroup violence according to the quantitative theory of conflict. In exactly one region, a porous mountain range does not adequately separate linguistic groups and violent conflict has led to the recent creation of the canton of Jura. Our analysis supports the hypothesis that violence between groups can be inhibited by physical and political boundaries. A similar analysis of the area of the former Yugoslavia shows that during widespread ethnic violence, existing political boundaries did not coincide with the boundaries of distinct groups, but the peace prevailed in specific areas where they did coincide. The success of peace in Switzerland may serve as a model to resolve conflict in other ethnically diverse countries and regions of the world.

Eventually the disparities between groups will cause shifts in demographics. Lower birthrate groups, which are lower because they are K-selective compared to others, will eventually be demographically replaced in an egalitarian society, or even worse, a society that puts the economic and social interests of the r-selected above the K groups, which is what we have now. This is only amplified with infinite immigration-based economic expansion policies that the west has. Plus a whole host of other problems: increases Poverty https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0305750X17300694 decreases voter turnout.

If we look at the 'mixed-race nations' like Spain, Portugal, Mexico, Brazil, Argentina; you can see a spectrum of success that goes from failure being darkest to successful being lightest. In India you ended up with a stratified caste system, so too in what was Persia, and you still to this day have black slaves in actually Arabic nations (as opposed to those who claim a baseless lineage due to their perverse religion). The point is that 'multiculturalism' will either lead to the annihilation of the 'superior', or the oppression of the 'inferior'; and there is no other way it can work. Abraham Lincoln and Enoch Powell both noted that if whites will not rule, the blacks will destroy them. Those are the only two options. Now right now I harbour quite a degree of resentment towards a lot of the other races, but in a 'natural' world I would not. It is only because we are forced together and thus I am forced to either oppress them or else face my own destruction that I am like this. Ideally I would wish them all the best in their natural habitats, and would seek to let them live in tune with nature as I seek for all the other varieties of animal. We are supposed to be the stewards of Creation; all Creation. It is the Enemy that has turned Creation against us, and it is now our duty to re-establish Order.
