@hydrolifetech7911 Pray Tell where are those great empires now ? It took China 2000+ years to consolidate to reach their Han majority, Mongolians have pretty much gone into hiding.
Iran retreated to its mountainous peninsular strong hold shedding its minorites in the periphery and despite the occasional genocide through out the years Persians still make up barely half of Iran and that shows (Azerbaijan a neighbouring state has explicitly made claims against land occupied by Iran's Azeri population and their sizable minority populations of different ethnic groups are one of the many reason why iran maintains a large paramilitary force, let me spell it out for you >for internal control< )
Rome splintered back onto its peninsular stronghold shedding its minority dominated regions, Ottomans retreated to their stronghold on the peninsular plateau and cut the dead weight of its minorities(Arabs and Greeks were quite happy, Armenians and Kurds not so much) allowing them to consolidate their numerical strength under Mustafa Kemal's vision of an ethnolinguistic majority state courtesy of European influence (only other military guy after Park Chung He>right wing guy< to successfully support the growth of a nation's Industrial+ Technological expansion.)
Every European state worth its salt has had an ethno linguistic majority that was the driving factor behind its Economic/Industrial/Technological advancements.
Japan has the Yamato People.
South Korea has.. well.
China has the Han majority.
Same as Singapore(Ironically for all its multiculturalism Singapore still favors chinese immigrants because ?
They arent stupid).
Malaysia(literally carved a majority from scratch, the Bumiputras) UMNO was the founding party for a reason.
Thailand has the Thais,
Vietnam and Bangladesh(rising powers with secure demographics with a single large majority on ethnic linguistic and religious lines though from a geographical standpoint their weaknesses are palpable ).
Western settler states built their nations over time based on skin colour(simple and stupidly intelligent if you think about it (phenotypical similarities to create a sense of familiarity and foster oneness) minus the racism its easier to build a society if everybody feels a sense of kinship towards eachother, old countries achieved that through ethnic and linguistic identities, whil the settler states used the template of Northern European skin colour, which allowed them to consolidate political power under a single group and achieve great technological and economic feats.).
Taiwan specifically had a mainlander minority but their military govt and mandated language training created an integrative effort and their administrative track record helped in cementing their legitimacy plus divisions aside they are still Hans.
Even in Africa, countries like Morocco, Botswana(Tswanas) or even Ghana(with a nebulous relative majority of the Akan people)are more functional than Ethiopia or Nigeria or S.Africa(whites are just one of the minorities there). I live in India and I can pinpoint the states that suffer from a variety of diversities and the consequences that have on their political system.
I am not even going to go into Europe the French imposed their language on regional minorities and forbade discrimination and enforced assimilation and integration under a single language without minority contenders. Germans started planning to be a country even before they became one why ? because they could(their customs union, Canal network, national rail system are a result of their sense or at least understanding of the necessity of unity in a backyard with multiple power players like Russia, France, UK and Sweden).
Thats not even counting the various Scandinavian states the Swedes have their law of Jante to self police and enforce conformity and its neighbours have their own iterations of the same.
Countries with bickering Diversity/multicultural fetishizers wont be able to achieve even 1/5th of what these countries achieved even if they had twice or thrice that time.
Unity is strength, diversity by definition either engenders or outright foster existing divisions and differences.
US lost its white majority and the consequences are yet to begin, I would say the same thing if it were a similarily educated and numerous black majority, The point is You need them and cant lose them.
Calling it 'right wing xenophobia' merely exposes your obnoxious, delusional and disassociated understanding of reality and history.
Most western idiots who champion diversity and/or multiculturalism have never known it or its consequences. Its new, it's novel, it gives you warm fuzzies, that's well and good, Just don't bother inflicting your crap on others because when it fails and its 'when' not 'if' you wont be alive to live with the consequences, Its your progeny and their successors that suffer.
Reply if you think you dont have a cognitively challenged opinion.
