I love it too when liberals accuse you of being racist or too prideful of your group but infantilise minorities by seeing their culture as some funny cosmetic flavourworld that could never ever have a drive to sustain and act for own interests and ambitions contrary to our own.

I know I build a strawman there but I have experienced it irl too often. Like "diversity" as an argument for not closing salafi mosques.
Or people being genuinly suprised when turks are pro Erdogan.

They're 'foreigners'.
Our languages are close enough to each other for them to grasp Finnish pretty damn quickly, and after they've lived here for a while they're almost indistinguishable from the native populace

>>72912119
Yeah I'm going with this. They aren't useless rapefugees, they're mostly skilled workers who often have quite a lot of money. In other words, good for the country. Certainly better than autistic NEET bogans on 4chan.

I don't mind smart and dedicated diversity. The black and brown foreign students I've met are all very stable and integration-happy.

The refugees don't want to integrate one bit. They form their own cultural islands. They themselves segregate and form immigrant ghettoes. Funnily enough the new economic migrants are more integration-happy. They're opportunistic responsibility evaders but that makes them likely to want to blend in anywhere.

>>72912119
>I probably commit less crime then your family will over the course of your lives,
Well I would hope that one person doesn't commit as much crime as a whole family of people. Bit of a low bar to shoot for isn't it?

I looked up the paper you gave me out of curiosity.

The actual essay makes it a point to discuss social capital and social networks, and the fact that social capital is probably the most important thing in regards to successful communities; not simply the level of ethnic diversity.
What we're probably seeing is that communities with high levels of ethnic diversity usually have lower amounts of social capital, due to things like immigration status, language barriers, discrimination, economic status, etc. And
>lower social cohesion
A vague thing.

Final reply, instead of just criticizing ethnics isn't it more about the quality of immigrants you get and whether they want to assimilate or not?

Trust in Singapore for example is substantially high for such a 'diverse' country: http://www.edelman.com/post/trust-in-singapore-2014-edelman-trust-barometer/

Their elections also turned to be 93% in the previous election: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Elections_in_Singapore#2015_general_election_results
