Ethnic Diversity WEAKENS Society – it is NOT a Strength

We are constantly told that “Diversity is our greatest strength”. But where is the evidence? There is none. It’s a faith-based mantra. In fact, the scientific, sociological & economic research shows that, far from being a strength, increased ethnic diversity divides societies and weakens social cohesion, trust, civic engagement and levels of happiness (amongst many other negatives). When combined with mass immigration & the failed policy of multiculturalism it leads to super diversity, a phenomenon we now see in our major cities. Super diversity is our greatest dilemma, and one of our greatest weaknesses. This is a speech by historian & New Culture Forum Senior Fellow Rafe Heydel-Mankoo. It was delivered at our NCF Immigration Conference held in London in October 2023
