Being the greatest colonial power was the result of their inventions, not the cause.And yet statistics show that the more diversity you have, the more successful your economy. The most successful economies are ones where women share power with men. The least successful are those where women are marginalized have no power.
The more points of view you have, the more ideas you have. Different cultures, races and ethnicities bring a diverse set of ideas and traditions to the business world.
I lived in one of the most ethnically diverse cities in the world for 30 years. Now I live in a homogenous white Christian rural community. The closest thing to "ethnic" cuisine in this town is an Italian pasta restaurant. I've been learning to cook Indian food because I miss it, and don't get me started on Asian cuisine. I'm currently on the lookout for a good Pad Thai recipe because I miss Thai food and sushi.
Just as the WASP diet is fairly boring, so are the business ideas in a predominantly white European culture. Innovation comes from looking at things from differing perspectives. Non-white immigrant co-workers in the city were an incredible resource base of new ideas and points of view that aren't available where I live now. I miss having those resources.
You're proof of that. There's nothing stupider than communism, yet you are all for it.
The source of the information isn't relevant. You can accept the argument on it's merits or not. You have done nothing to discredit it except resort to logical fallacies.
In George Washington's day it wasn't nearly so dangerous because at least the parties had the same goal: the welfare of the United States. However these days one of the parties is intent on destroying this country and enslaving eveyrone in it.
You're the one with the flawed and irrevelants arguments here. For example, you claim I'm in favour of communism when there's absolutely no evidence that I am nor have I ever made any statements to that effect. If your only argument against what I've posted is an out and out lie, it doesn't say much for your ideas does it?
The only people who fear diversity are those who are so inferior that they are unable to compete with the new ideas and experiences of a more diverse pool of workers. Racism is based on fear and the inferiority of those who know they can't compete on a level playing field. That's why they seek to exclude as many people as possible from the pool of applicants available.
Your racism and fear of diversity is proof positive of your own inferiority.
The statistics show precisely the opposite. Japan is a very successful country and the least "diverse" on the entire planet. Look at all the successful countries in Europe. They didn't get that way with a "diverse" population.
"Diversity" means crime, civil strife, a vast welfare burden, lack of community cohesiveness, the list goes on and on.
Japan is a very good example. What was the last great Japanese invention? Name it! They've existing technologies but original ideas are in short supply.
The Japanese don't invent things. The homogenous nature of their culture doesn't adapt quickly or well. There is a paucity of new ideas and thinking even as their education system is one of the best in the world.
The golden age of American invention and ingenuity took place in the late 1800's and early 1900's when immigration was at it's peak and unrestricted. All of those new and fresh ideas from all over the world coming together for the first time.
Scotland, and England produced a lot of inventions when they were a very homogeneous society, and far less now that they're a multicultural society.
Those inventions were made during the period when Great Britain was the world's greatest colonial power and people came from all corners of the Empire to be educated in Great Britain. As the sun set on the British Empire, ingenuity declined.
