8/3 It is much better to have homogeneous suburbs than diverse cities:

\_ you know why "It's a small world" is such a happy ride?
because every race is segregated.. if u mixed them up
there'd be wars and genocides on that disney ride
\_ BEST (FUNNY) RESPONSE EVER. Thanks! :)
\_ I was on that ride a couple times and the only thing I didn't
like was that the music was too loud. Never though that the
whole thing was actually politically incorrect.
\_ I always knew that diversity is good EXCEPT when Latinos
and Mexicans are involved. I've lived through LAUSD for
18 years and things are in fact deteriorating. However, like
Putnam, I keep this to myself because every Liberal thinks
diversity regardless of the type of diversity is good.
\_ I'm not saying this dude's data is bad. I'm just surprised because
I think of the places I lived, and the ones that were the most
souless/didn't know anyone who lived around me were the ones where
pretty much everyone was the same. To be fair, I really wasn't
so maybe the benefit of homogenity only works when you identify
with the majority?
\_ I read "The Geography of Happiness" and apparently cultural
homogeneity is is a big element of societal happiness.
Homogeneous groups were much more like to be happy groups.
Some of what this article mentions matches my experience as well.
Any difference in norms is a potential conflict, so people do often
hunker down. I had some Mexican neighbors I liked OK in my old
house, but we clashed a few times, and I put up with a lot of
weird crap just because I didn't want to fight about it. (Who
keeps a rooster in a highly populated area?) I got along much
better with my White neighbors even though I liked the Mexicans
more.
\_ My amazingly white mormon nneighbors kept a rooster. And it
\_ My amazingly white mormon neighbors kept a rooster. And it
wasn't in a rural area.
\_ Doesn't religious diversity count?
\_ Doesn't religious diversity count? The problem is cultural
homogenaity, not race per se. In my case one group was
Mexican, and the other was CA style white trash. If you
were Mormon, you'd see those guys at church, and it would be
pretty easy to find a chance to say, "Hey, your rooster is
waking my daughter up at 4 am every morning. Why do you have
rooster?" If you don't have some sort of common cultural
raport, you have no idea how your neighbor will react of your
inquiry, and you'll tend to hunker down instead.
diverity, not race per se. If you were Mormon, you would see
them at church and it would be easy to ask why they have a
rooster waking your daughter at 4am every morning. With no
social/cultural rapport it is much more difficult to
predict their reaction, and judge how you should approch the
the situaltion. So people hunker down instead.
(Sorry, somebody squished this.)
\_ The mormonness is just to point out just how blindingly
white they were. "Step outside and instantly burn on an
overcast day" white.
\_ Racial integration is sex-based. Until they start screwing each
other's women and having mixed kids people mostly stick within
their own ethnic groups.
Therefore my new liberal government plan is arranged marriages
between races.
\_ Is that why I see so many asian chicks with white dudes?
\_ It's because the Asian chicks are gold-diggers who somehow
find prestige in dating white men and those particular white
men are too geeky to even try to hook up with hot Nordic
blondes but still won't date fat chicks. They produce mongrel
children who possess the worst traits of both.
