No you quoted Daywolf. lol

he can't even bother to type google.cn b4 going mad

anyway he stated he was curious and I tested it. nothing special. probably those states (yep!) just don't allow any kind of advertisement on their search page or something or it's not worth the liability for google or they just don't want to pay for staff to maintain those pages

sooo i don't think it's anything to worry about

[maskedmelon]

Oh ok lol. I didn't check .cn either :/ but Days wasn't being serious either lol. He was making a joke about propaganda.

I was going to say I think of all the people on this board to get upset about a private organization doing whatever the hell it wants, days and that other nazi guy are like the last people who should be even slightly sarcastic about it. It makes all their previous statements seem hypocritical to me.

Yes, this is exactly what the narrative is. The problem is that this narrative assumes that multculturalism is a strength and something to strive towards. An ethnically diverse society is a low trust society (see Putnam).

I used the Google and found this article from NPR. Emphasis mine.

Prof. PUTNAM: I do need to step back a minuet and say I think that the - it's not merely a fact that America's becoming more diverse. It's a benefit. America will - all of us will, over the long run, benefit from being a more diverse, more heterogeneous place. Places that are more diverse have higher rates of growth on average and they have better cuisine. And it's just a more interesting place to live.

So in the long run, waves of immigration like we're going through now and that we've gone through in the past and increasing diversity is good for a society. But what we discovered in this research, somewhat to our surprise, was that in the short run the more ethnically diverse the neighborhood you live in, the more you - every - all of us tend to hunker down, to pull in. The more diverse - and when I say all of us, I mean all of us. I mean blacks and whites and Asians and Latinos, all of us. The more diverse the group around us, ethnically, in our neighborhood, the less we trust anybody, including people who look like us. Whites trust whites less. Blacks trust blacks less, in more diverse settings.

I would encourage you to look at the results rather than his editorializing. The conclusion of the paper is not dissimilar. The body of it presents the results that indicate as diversity increases, isolation and distrust of community members increase. At the tail end, it is an unsubstantiated pep talk in line with the quotes you provided. He sat on the results for half a decade until he could "develop proposals to compensate for the negative effects of diversity". [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

The only thing I found compelling in his pro-diversity comments are that economic growth increases (there is other evidence to support this, though he doesn't provide it himself).
