Diversity is more stressful...but that stress is often the source of innovation...call it "hybrid vigor"...
And we all know what inbreeding can result in...when too many people marry their cousins...!
American Blacks gave us Jazz and R&B which morphed into Rock and Roll through Nashville and Elvis... African art was a major source of Modern Art in the 20th Century...
I have been in countries that are "all one people"...and they really seem bored...mostly with each other... The suicide rate in Scandinavia is high...
It's rather a dull place when your grandmother told you the same stories and cooked the same food... as everyone else's grandmother...
Thats why American music, film and culture are so popular around the world...it "belongs" to no one and everyone...its not just "Chinese" or "Finnish"...
I've seen the Chinese...they are bizarre...they all think alike... They seem to be able to read each others minds...so everyone talks at once...its like some giant "hive" of worker bees... They are "hard wired" in ways we can't imagine...
Diversity creates a dynamic tension...that makes life more interesting...
