Ok, but what did he say diversity did? Besides saying that it promoted racial and cultural diversity? Do you not see the circularity here? Regardless, I was talking about social trust!

It sure would be helpful if you or he explained the benefits of diversity aside from diversity. I am sure there are some, but do tell us what they are! I am not totally opposed to diversity. Personally, I love ethnic food, but don't see why we need a majority non white nation to have loots of ethnic food here. But still, I am open to learning. What are the benefits? Are they worth the hit on social trust and national unity?

I'm not 100% sure. I haven't read the full study and it seems to actual look at the whole thing you need to pay for it, at least from what I have found. I believe the overall summary was diversity caused issues of trust in the short term but the other benefits, cultural, economic, fiscal, and developmental appear or are likely to appear in the long term.

I do know one thing. I found those quotes that I posted above within a few mins of looking. It seems that people are misinterpreting his findings very often and using them for a different purpose.

Its a major issue if we use a study or finding but refuse to take into account what the writer says about the overall study because it no longer suites are purpose. We have to take everything into account or disregard the study as a whole. We can't just take certain aspects we like about it.
