My question is: When are the Indians going to rise up and take America back and kick all these foreign squatters?
As soon as the Mexicans take back the Southwest. The Indians figure it will be easier to take the Mexicans with force than the Caucasians with politics.
No. Seriously, a lot of us like living among people from different backgrounds from whom we learn different perspectives. We like being able to frequent restaurants that offer cuisines from elsewhere in the world. We like exposing our childrent to people from different backgrounds in order to give them a better-informed view of the world. What is it about diversity that makes it so hard for some of you to understand?...
So...living in a "diverse" neighborhood is akin to having an interesting pet, perhaps? Or a movie theater that shows documentaries about other ways of life? Oh, and yes, you can get a falafel.
Just sounds like snooty elitism to me.
"I like a diverse neighborhood because having all those interesting people around me makes my family and me more enlightened."
Is the point of the anti-diversity people that everyone should keep to their own kind? I think that's what gets wars going in many parts of the world, isn't it?... people banding together against or away from "the other" and resenting those who break the boundaries between the groups. Remember the riots and bombings back in the 60's (I don't, I wasn't born yet) over integration in Birmingham and other places? The terrorists back then had plenty of community pride in their homogenous neighborhoods, I'm sure.

Yeah... that's how we got here, remember? The King told us we couldn't worship that way, or earn money this way, or that we had to pay tax to support laws and programs we didn't agree with. Kinda like today...
And tell me one thing wrong with knowing what you like and sticking with it. This should be good.
America is being destroyed via non-white legal and illegal immigration, as well as high birth rates from those groups and relatively low birth rates from whites. The biggest problem of those, though, is the amount of legal and illegal non-white immigration. A great western (white) nation is being destroyed all in the frame of a couple generations. Ted Kennedy has royally helped destroy the U.S. (Immigration and Naturalization Act of 1965).
How old are you if I may? Reason I ask is because most people that spew this kind of "justified hate" are 55+ (no offense to the 55+ crowd). The thing that seems to be missed is that the younger generations are different, tolerant and will most likely have the tools to deal with today's dreaded diversity in the future.
I enjoy diversity. Perhaps it's because I'm so strange I don't (and never have) really comfortably fit into any mold. Or perhaps it's my fascination with other languages, cultures, and cuisines.
It sounds to me more like the author of the study has an agenda. Never once does he question the attitudes of the people living in the "less diverse" communities.
I like diversity, even if it has a "seedy" side that gets under white-bread America's skin.

Back in the day elitists who "slummed" with the gritty masses were known as "Bobos".... fake bohemians.
Too many people think eating at an Ethiopian restaurant makes you cultured, or saying Hi to your Colombian neighbor "diverse." Makes em feel good.
Call it what you want, I'm just calling it like I see it.
You're not allowed to do that.
