Comments by "Miguel D Lewis" (@MiguelDLewis) on "The 10 Least Diverse Cities in the United States." video.

Great video. I'd love to see a video about the most integrated and diverse cities. I saw a few comments about it and it got me thinking. Diversity doesn't matter much if it's segregated. Thanks for the upload 👍🏿

@michaelphillips2079 But that would disrupt the Western economy. How else will we fill the private prisons and extract cheap blood diamonds?

Yeah diverse but segregated, as opposed to integrated. Someone in another comment brought up something similar.

Racial diversity isn't divisive; segregation is. Integrated cities tend to do well in terms of high quality of life and low crime.

@michaelphillips2079 Tell that to Putin.

@thullraven1 Persians and Arabs are "Caucasian" too. So are Turks I hear...

Yeah food is definitely #1. Different festivals, fashion, art, music, and entertainment can be added to the list too.

@uptown_rider8078 Hans Jonatan was an Afro Dane. Also, Denmark is a Christian nation and Christianity comes from Egypt, Africa. So Danish culture is based on an African culture. "I am the Lord thy God from the land of Egypt." - Hosea 13:4 ✝

@michaelphillips2079 Actually that's Jersey City, Singapore, Toronto, Montreal, Sydney, Amsterdam, and Dubai. Jersey City is the most diverse city in the US and has seen the highest drop in crime compared to the national average. So segregation is the problem, not ethnic diversity. Because of integration, Jersey City has less violent crime now than it did in the 80s and 90s when it was less diverse. Most of Jersey City's police force is composed of ethnic minorities.

@dcfunhouse As a Christian, I have to agree with you. You're right and I am incorrect. Thanks for this conversation. “God hath made of one blood all nations of men" - Acts 17:26

@teachzilla4120 Jersey City's integration and ethnic diversity is awe-inspiring. Puts the rest of this country to shame.

@poopsock7493 Jersey City, Singapore, and Montreal are some of the most diverse cities in the world. They also have very low crime rates.

@strongbad2016 You obviously have never been to Japan before. I used to live there. It's not homogenous at all. The Yamato, Ainu, Ryukyu, Zainichi, and Kakyou ethnic groups are completely different from each other. They even speak different languages and they're very diverse. But they're integrated. They all largely assimilated into the same Indian Buddhist and Korean-originated Shinto religions that Japan imported. Of course, there's "racial" conflict between the diverse Japanese ethnic groups but that conflict isn't as bad since they've been religiously and socially integrated. The populist American idea that Japan is homogenous is a myth.

@richardalvarez2390 I wish the same could be said for the frontier with Ukraine.

Actually less segregated means more stability, less violent crime, and fewer social tensions. Cities that are diverse and integrated usually have none of those problems.

@dcfunhouse I partially agree. But the Civil War was about slavery, not diversity. The Civil Rights Act wasn't completely passed until about 1968. That's only 55-56 years ago. Distinguishing people based on color is only divisive if it's used for segregation, rather than integration. Distinguishing by color is illegal in France but such color blindness makes it hard to track hate crimes, segregation, and social inequities. On the other hand, such color blindness can also help normalize integration. So there is no perfect solution either way it seems.

@EndTheSimpademic That distinction is very important. I'm from Milwaukee, where it's diverse but segregated. When I went to Montreal, Canada and saw how diverse and integrated it was, I fell in love.
2
@EndTheSimpademic Oh yeah definitely Toronto too.

I disagree. The New Kingdom of Egypt and the Achaemenid Empire were both more tolerant. They had no slavery at all, unlike the US. The Achaemenid Empire even made Greece free their slaves. The New Kingdom of Egypt was mostly ruled by former slaves.

@HailCaesar-lm4bq Isn't India in Asia too? lol

@HailCaesar-lm4bq I dated an Indian girl once. She identified as both.

@michaelphillips2079 Tell that to Russia and Ukraine.

@strongbad2016 I agree but that's only true to the extent that evil oppresses evil. Black nonviolent convicts receive harsher sentences than their white counterparts. So black Americans have to be perfect, holy saints or this predatory system will reenslave us.

Yeah it looks very beautiful. I'd love to visit.

@michaelphillips2079 I didn't say diversity is the reason for Jersey City's low crime rate. I said integration is. Read what I type, please. Paris and London are left out because they're ethnically segregated. A black kid in Newham can go their entire life never seeing a white person even though they're in London. That's how segregated it is. Also, Paris and London suffer more from religious segregation which promotes violence. Jersey City, though ethnically diverse, is overwhelmingly Christian. That religious commonality helps the different ethnicities integrate. Even the Arabs in Jersey City are mostly Coptic Christians, though most Arabs in Paris and London are Muslim. Integration makes diversity good. Segregation makes diversity bad.
