Disclaimer: I don’t hate anyone or think one race is better. We are all humans and are equally valued. I just believe ignoring real differences between groups causes problems in society.
Race is a powerful dividing line because it’s both visually obvious and rooted in biology. People naturally notice racial differences, which creates an instinctive sense of “us vs them.” There are also average genetic differences like in intelligence, temperament and behavior, which make unity across groups difficult.
Diversity weakens social trust. People trust and cooperate more when they share language, culture, and values. In diverse societies, trust between individuals and toward institutions drops.
It also causes division. Different groups have clashing interests and values, leading to cultural conflict and demands for special treatment.
Diversity undermines stability. A nation needs shared identity to stay united. Deep differences in race, religion, or culture lead to resentment, conflict, and fragmentation.
