Diversity+Proximity= Conflict. Always has. You wont have any divisive social issues if you get rid of the "melting pot" idea that has been forced solely on the white west.
People dont understand how when a new colony was setup in some tribal land they would start moving the tribes around so that they would be warring with each other and couldn't unify against the occupying government. Its the same old page from the tired playbook but people living in the world of ideas will never see the reality before them.

Not to start a semantics debate, ^^ but I would say the 'melting pot' analogy is fine. It's the newer 'salad bowel' bullshit that needs to go. The idea behind the melting pot is that there is one cohesive culture forged of various elements and made stronger by them, like steel. Undesirable elements are purged in the smelt ^^
Culture cannot develop with all sorts of disjointed elements standing on their own. New peoples are welcome to bring their ideas and if appropriate they'll be incorporated into the larger culture. If not, they'll just become slag.
That's how it works in Japan ^^ Immigrants adopt Japanese culture or they have a VERY difficult time and end up leaving. Conversely, Japanese are happy to adopt and accept new ideas if they easily fit within prevailing culture.
