I think i could lay it quite clearly here. I didn't read the last 55 pages: no time for that.
Ethnic, religious and racial diversity is great as long as it's all in support of a similar set of values and morals, which is the real the crux. People who hold the same morals and values (or lack thereof) should be able to get along quite well with each other. That's the real tragedy of the current political climate. If you just look at black vs. white, can you argue that our core moral belief system is different? Nope, not really. So the strife is all superficial bullshit propagated by lunatics on both sides of the racial and political spectrum and we don't have enough people at the forefront smart and sensible enough to say "stop this craziness." There's simply too much money to be made by keeping it up.
Where you run into real conflicts is our Western culture that values science, freedom and equality of opportunity for everyone versus Muslim culture where much of it around the world values the strict religion above all else. If we can't agree that women, half our damn population, should be afforded every single right a man has... or that corporal punishment is very wrong... then we simply can't co-exist in the same social structure.
