  1. Diversity absolutely can be a strength... Provided there is also unity. When there is instead division it is a weakness just as absolute. Likewise, multiculturalism is a good thing... Because a functional and healthy process of immigration and integration produces a multicultural society simply as a result of the rolling midpoint of that process, and, as noted, diversity coupled with unity is strength. Unfortunately, if you (general sense of the word) refuse to accept that and see integration (or, for that matter, the inevitable changes to the society being integrated into as a result) as somehow evil, and try to Force multiculturalism as an End State (or force immigrants into a permanent underclass which Cannot integrate, be it due to racism or exploitation founded on greed), then the result is again division, and weakness. Unfortunately, there are an awful lot of people who profit from using division as a tool to screw over others for their own gain, and setting up some group or another as "the enemy" makes it easier to hide this. Those currently at the top, and those currently at the bottom make for the easiest targets, depending on your methods, goals, and audience. This is true on both sides of the political spectrum. (It happens less in the centre mostly because those who have been radicalised are easier to manipulate, and it's harder to sound like a reasonable moderate while doing this sort of thing, but it's not unheard of there either)
