Is multiculturalism essentially a failure?

It's the difference in the IQ score. People with low IQ simply can't assimilate to high functioning society. So they get the socialists like AOC to yell that it's racism.

Plain for everyone to see the irony in your statement on IQ as well as your ignorance.

That level of honesty isn't allowed in today's world...

East Africans can be genetically pre-disposed to dominate long distance running.

West Africans can be genetically pre-disposed to dominate sprinting.

But any suggestion that other races are genetically pre-disposed to be superior in any other categories is "RACIST"!...

Truth doesn't change just because your feelings are hurt.

The lowest GDP states tend to be the least diverse: The Dakotas, Montana , Alaska, Wyoming etc.

Yet another reason why this thread is lame.

Do you think per capita GDP might be a more meaningful measure? India has a higher GDP than Canada or Australia.

Truth.

Also Chinese are the superior race intellectually. Even the legendary Charlie Munger said it.

Well, Ashkenazi Jew are even superior, but they're not a lot.

Superior at hyping their supposed but non-existent superiority. That's about it.

1. Japan is a wonderful country. So their population is shrinking. So what? Who cares. Where is it written in stone that a country's population and economy must always grow? With increased automation, there will be less of a need for workers. A country with a declining population is best-suited to face this challenge.

2 . Do you think the "immigration" that began in 1492 was good for the "Native Americans"? (I put "immigration" in quotes because Columbus and other Spanish explorers were conquerers, not immigrants. I put "Native Americans" in quotes because they were not Americans. There was no USA until 1776.)

Why dont you ask the Japanese?

I have spoken about this topic with a number of Japanese people. Some are immigration-friendly. However, I think it is a huge mistake to assume that they want to turn Japan into a multicultural country like the US.

Here is an interesting fact: Japan let in six Syrian refugees as of 2015. Many Japanese people would support increasing the number--maybe doubling it to 12. This is a far cry from the US where we let in tens of thousands of refugees every year and where 1 million green cards are dispensed annually.

Suppose you asked Japanese people: "Should a majority of Japanese people be ethnically Japanese? Or do you think Japan would be well served if a majority of its citizens were of some other ethnicity such as European, Indian or Colombian?" I'm pretty sure the proportion favoring a Japanese ethno-state would be close to 99.9 percent.

Not all peoples aspire to take over the world. Japan is a beautiful, safe, harmonious, secure country. The exact opposite of the US, UK, etc.

A safe and harmonious country that would be Chinese territory if not for American hegemony.

I wouldn't assume that. Japan is a prosperous, technologically advanced nuclear power. If they wish to defend themselves without American support, they are capable of doing so. In any case, it's not America's job to intervene in disputes between various countries located thousands of miles away.

Hungary would be awesome. Incredible country. Tough language.

I have worked for Elan for the past several years and have been to Slovenia 7-8 times already. Looking to relocate. If you have a decent job life is unreal in countries like this. Just the fact that you can go into any town and city and any part of a city at any time of day or night and be and feel completely safe is amazing to me.

Agree completely. If I didn't suck at languages, I probably would attempt to move to Hungary. I have Hungarian ancestry, so could become a citizen. But I'd have to pass a language test which would be well nigh impossible. Hungarian is said to be one of the hardest languages for an English-speaking person.

Seems fine bro

There's more to life than GDP and a well-functioning country is more than a shopping mall.

Is this supposed to be a poorly attempted satire?

Czechoslovakia? Really? Do you know they have been two separate countries (Czechia and Slovakia) for almost three decades now? Why do you think they decided to split?

Sory, meant to say Czech Republic. My error.

The USA is, in part, the greatest country to have ever existed in the history of mankind because of multiculturalism.

The USA is coming apart at the seams.

To quote Jon Miller:

"Hedonistic decadence, sexual degeneracy, fear, an entirely new political culture, institutional transformation of govt, the police & edu systems, inflation, joblessness, political violence, terrorism, racial conflict… We’re not just on the road to Weimar Germany. We’re here!"

I'd guess that well under 5% of Japan's citizens are of Korean or Chinese descent, and these three groups (Chinese, Korean, Japaese) are culturally and ethnically similar. For example the largest part of the Japanese syllabary (Kanji) is based on Chinese characters. 雨 means "rain" in both Japanese and Chinese, although the pronunciation is different. Japan is one of the most ethnically homogenous countries on the planet.

Kanji is based on Chinese because Japan didn't have a written language before written Chinese was imported to create a written language. The two languages are not in the same language family at all.

My point stands. It is a lot easier for a Korean or Chinese person to learn Japanese than for an American. Moreover, the lanugage was just one example. Koreans, Chinese, and Japanese are culturally simimlar in ways other than language. All have been influenced by Confucianism, for example.

It's a lot easier for an Italian, Spanish or Portuguese person to learn French than for a Japanese. All have also been influenced by Catholicism.

22% of Nobel Prize winners are Jews, while they're only 14-17 million in the entire world.

Correct.

And Alaska has the highest violent crime rate in the country except for DC....
