This doesn’t just apply to the white population: all racial groups are affected. As a result, communities are fractured and less functional.

Where I was headed, was in wondering if he paid any attention to HOW the different groups came to be in one another’s proximity. Whether they had been forced in together by re-zoning or re-districting as an attempt at “integration” or people had built up ethnic enclaves over the years because they preferred to be with their own people, I think makes all the difference in the world.

How well do you think it would have gone over, for instance, in Brooklyn around say, 1905, if the federal government had marched in fully-armed and ordered everybody out of their tenements, from Chinatown to Little Italy, and forced them all to take up new residences in other tenements based on quotas of “diversity”? Or if today one had to get a special license from the feds to open a Chinese restaurant owned by Russian immigrants, or serve Mexican dishes in a white-owned one, or to employ specialty knife-jugglers at a sushi bar who were actually Korean and not Japanese? A sign contractor gets a fine levied on him for having watermelon and fried chicken on the same billboard, another sign advertising a car show with a picture of a 1957 Impala with the back springs taken out is ordered taken down…. et cetera. The possible absurdities and extremisms of taking the illogic of “diversity” to its logical outcomes are barely even imaginable.

Either racial differences are left up to people to settle among themselves, or they aren’t. The history of artificially-imposed racism is headed toward becoming every bit the human calamity it is being posed as a solution to, if not far, far worse. I happen to think folks can settle and live with their own differences among each other as neighbors just fine, and that trying to force them to coexist is almost certain to assure that they won’t.
