    People should look at the Putnam diversity study ( https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/abs/10.1111/j.1467-9477.2007.00176.x ). Robert Putnam was a Harvard professor who was pro-diversity, but he couldn’t make the hard data about the effects of diversity support the conclusion that diversity is good for society.

    This is the abstract for the paper he published:

    Ethnic diversity is increasing in most advanced countries, driven mostly by sharp increases in immigration. In the long run immigration and diversity are likely to have important cultural, economic, fiscal, and developmental benefits. In the short run, however, immigration and ethnic diversity tend to reduce social solidarity and social capital. New evidence from the US suggests that in ethnically diverse neighbourhoods residents of all races tend to ‘hunker down’. Trust (even of one’s own race) is lower, altruism and community cooperation rarer, friends fewer. In the long run, however, successful immigrant societies have overcome such fragmentation by creating new, cross‐cutting forms of social solidarity and more encompassing identities. Illustrations of becoming comfortable with diversity are drawn from the US military, religious institutions, and earlier waves of American immigration.

    There is no evidence that it will all work out in the way Putnam suggested.

    The effects of diversity do a lot to explain why social conformity is not a huge factor in America.
