This needs an essay, but the principle is simple: if your goal is diversity, then you will get diversity, and when you say "But we didn't mean THAT!" you will find it is too late.
America was not built on a principle of diversity. It was built on the principle of e pluribus unum; one could and was expected to learn how to be an American, whether you were born here or came as an immigrant. This was the Melting Pot, and it darned well worked. Incidentally, note the similarity to Rome which included in its founding legends the story of the Roman men and Sabine women; and even the men were not all descendents of the Trojans and Aeneas. Rome had no racial foundation; but everyone was expected to learn how to be and to act like a Roman. Much of this was in the minds of the Framers of this nation. They well understood that some states would be protestant, some Catholic, some Unitarian; that there were be diversities in views. Some of those diversities led to the Civil War, and the Reconstruction leaders, Garfield as an example, tried to build an actual nation. The result was pretty good, and we were able to absorb waves and waves of immigrants, some educated, most not, some rich, most poor, and build the Unites States and the American people.
Our latest goal is "diversity" and the result here will be about the same as it has been in Europe.
We seem to have no defense against the reductionism of the Enlightenment. Rousseau has won over from Locke and Montesquieu, both of whom were among the favorite works of those at the Convention. Now I would wager you that there not five Congressmen or three Senators who have read any works of either, and I would also wager that most of our national leaders never heard of them. And who quotes either now?
Diversity will of course produce a unitary society of those vicious enough to act on their beliefs. Go look at South Los Angeles now for a picture of our diverse future. |
