[diversity] the deception of multi-culturalism

Vox Day has done it again, this time on one of the horror stories of modern society – multiculturalism: A bleak picture of the corrosive effects of ethnic diversity has been revealed in research by Harvard University's Robert Putnam, one of the world's most influential political scientists. His research shows that the more diverse a community is, the less likely its inhabitants are to trust anyone – from their next-door neighbour to the mayor ... This was then answered by a commenter, damaged justice: There is a vast difference between biological/ecological diversity and cultural diversity. The former is a net positive in any event, otherwise we would all mate with immediate relatives like so many British "royals". The latter is only a positive when it comes about voluntarily, rather than coercion, and when there are enough shared similarities between the varying cultures.
