Other than ethnic food and music, can you name five benefits of diversity? Here’s one: by pretending to worship the concept uncritically, you can avoid liberals tearing into you like a school of piranhas. Good thing [White Nationalist] Jared Taylor isn’t in a position to get expelled by militantly tolerant educrats.

How about: It's better to embrace and understand our differences rather than being a total dickhead to anyone different from you? I think this is so important that another four reasons aren't needed.
5 benefits of diversity.
Your own bizzare notion doesnt even make the list.
How about this for a start: In 1939 there was a Parliamentary Inquiry in Britain into the burden which Jewish refugees who had arrived since 1933 had placed on the British state. They found that not only did they not place any burden on the state, but that those refugees had started businesses and given work to over 100,000 Britons in the meantime.
Dave Blount, do you know who did most to destroy German culture? Adolf Hitler. Almost every artist, writer, actor, director, dancer, composer, philosopher and critic worth their salt fled the Nazis. Most enriched the countries to which they escaped, though many were murdered when the Nazis invaded. Among scientists, nineteen current or future Nobel prizewinners were expelled by the Nazis in the name of racial purity. And it doesn't stop with the Nazis; people of talent have emerged in the West whose parents fled from Uganda, from Kosovo, from Iran, from Somalia and many other places. Come back when you've made as big a contribution to society as they have.

Your entire fucking civilisation for a start... without that diversity you hate, you wouldn't have a USA in the first place
@D Laurier - Great points!
I would add:
6) A more tolerant and open-minded society (monoethnic, "monoracial" and monocultural societies are more likely to be close-minded toward people who are different).

Yes I can Asian,native,black, Spanish,and white women.
Monoethnic societies get weird after a while. Different perspectives help keep you sane.
For example, Japan is almost 100% monoethnic. As a result, they are rabidly xenophobic to the tiny minority of Koreans that live there, even after generations of integrated living. And if you've ever visited super-rural white Appalachia, well... Let's just say their limited cultural scope isn't exactly doing them any favors.
Scientific advancement through cultural exchange. - I.E. medicine.
Rich and varied literature, along with the music you wanted not to count. Fresh perspective breeds new and exciting trends in entertainment of all forms.
Learning from the devastating mistakes and hardships of another culture's past without having to suffer through it ourselves. - I.E. that one Chinese emperor basically responsible for China's overpopulation. It's now illegal to say his name he was so frigging stupid.
Advances in agriculture due to varied knowledge in dealing with unfamiliar flora and soil conditions. Growing a tomato in Italian soil and growing a tomato in the varied regions of South America are two different things entirely.
We are exotic and mysterious to them, they are exotic and mysterious to us, throw in a sexy accent and there's some some serious sparks.
Five. Read them and weep your tears of impotent rage.
Confused?
So were we! You can find all of this, and more, on Fundies Say the Darndest Things!
