Diversity is Most Certainly Not America’s Strength

The Editors at TakiMag have precisely homed in on the “crime” committed by Tucker Carlson during his viral segment on diversity. He asked for evidence that it makes America stronger. I and my son-in-law E.J. Smith are some of Tucker’s strongest supporters, becoming so after having met him at events held by the Cato Institute. TakiMag writes:

Tucker Carlson Questions Diversity

Anyone who understands what words mean realizes that diversity doesn’t signify strength; instead, it sows division. Still, most people are dumb enough that they only need to be clubbed in the head with a nonsensical phrase a few dozen times before they internalize it and it makes perfect sense to them.

The only positive thing that diversity has ever brought America is a wider selection of restaurants. Otherwise, it’s brought a gaping dark canyon of conflict and alienation.

Tucker Carlson of Fox News is probably the only honest living American newscaster.

He recently showed footage from a chattering quartet of progressive battering rams—Bernie Sanders, Barack Obama, Hillary Clinton, and Joe Biden—squeaking loudly about how diversity is our strength without providing any, you know, corroborating evidence to support such a claim.

Mr. Carlson’s crime was to ask for evidence:

How precisely is diversity our strength? Since you’ve made this our new national motto, please be specific as you explain it. Can you think, for example, of other institutions such as, I don’t know, marriage or military units in which the less people have in common, the more cohesive they are? Do you get along better with your neighbors or your co-workers if you can’t understand each other or share no common values? Please be honest as you answer this question. And if diversity is our strength, why is it okay for the rest of us to surrender to one of our central rights, freedom of speech, to just a handful of tech monopolies?
