This was my understanding, uniting in the first place wasn’t easy if I’m remembering right.

TankovayaDiviziya@lemmy.world 2 days agoHuh? The Swiss are Italian, French, German and Romansch. They are also divided along Protestant and Catholic lines. Switzerland is far more diverse and divided than people care to realise. They even had a civil war because of this. What made them live in harmony altogether is because of the agreed power sharing after the conflict. Iirc, the governing parties must represent the four linguistic groups.

“They are all white therefore they are not diverse”- average North Americans

Lol. This has got to be a troll.
North America has every group that is present in Europe, and plenty that are not at all present in Europe.
Plus wave after wave of European immigrants that settled in geographically diverse areas and interacted differently with the environment and the other people that came there since the beginning of colonialism.
They changed way more than France and Germany (or whatever you think is “diversity”) in the same amount of time. Way more cultural exchange and adaptation.
The Italian Americans that settled in Chicago and New York are very different from each other. The Germans that settled in Chicago and Texas are very different from each other.
We also have groups that you don’t have at all.
First, brown people. You have like 5. That’s the Othello reference. You preferred white people only, so I’ll continue with white people only (which makes me gag).
Mormons. Amish. Mennonites. I dunno, just country bumpkins. Pentecostals. So many.
I’m running out of white people. I just can’t help but think that brown people are really important here.
