Independent, UK - A White House lawyer chosen by Donald Trump to serve on the federal appeals court previously argued countries were weakened by ethnic diversity.
Steven Menashi, the president’s nomination for the Court of Appeals Second Circuit, wrote in an academic journal that “ethnic ties provide the groundwork for social trust” and “solidarity underlying democratic polities rests in large part on ethnic identification”.
“Surely, it does not serve the cause of liberal democracy to ignore this reality,” he added in the 2010 article for the University of Pennsylvania Journal of International Law.

He is right. Discrimination - even racism - is harmless. Individuals have the right to associate with whom they choose and to exclude others when they choose. That does no harm to anyone.
Those who want to force people together who do not want to be together are doing great harm and inflaming racism, not curing it.
Of course, people who share a culture will be more cooperative than those forced to "diversify".
