=== Diversity Destroys Trust (03:47) ===

[00:00:04]  Hello, I'm Jared Taylor with American Renaissance.
[00:00:08]  Diversity is America's greatest strength, right?
[00:00:11]  I won't even begin to list the politicians, academics, and journalists who say this.
[00:00:18]  And they mean all kinds of diversity: language, religion, culture, sexuality, but especially race.
[00:00:27]  Of course, when you ask why exactly is it so great to have 36 million Mexicans living here, or how is it that 6 million Muslims make our lives better, you won't get an answer.
[00:00:40]  You'll just get yelled at for asking the question.
[00:00:44]  You won't get an answer because diversity is not a strength, it's a weakness.
[00:00:49]  Without racial diversity, there would be no race riots, no dangerous inner cities.
[00:00:56]  No Black Lives Matter.
[00:00:57]  No affirmative action.
[00:00:59]  No worries about whether there are too many Asians at Harvard or not enough Hispanics on television.
[00:01:06]  No racial discrimination lawsuits.
[00:01:09]  No diversity training.
[00:01:11]  There would also be no white privilege.
[00:01:14]  No white guilt.
[00:01:15]  No racial conflict or tension at all.
[00:01:20]  Can you imagine such a peaceful, unified, carefree America?
[00:01:25]  There would be fewer Mexican restaurants, and we might win fewer Olympic gold medals, but I think we could live with that.
[00:01:34]  And look what racial diversity does to politics.
[00:01:37]  The Democrats have become the non-white party.
[00:01:41]  90 to 95 percent of blacks and 70 percent of Hispanics and Asians vote Democrat.
[00:01:48]  And Republicans are becoming the white people's party.
[00:01:52]  A veteran political consultant tells me privately he thinks that in 10 years, 80% of white people will vote Republican.
[00:02:01]  Racial diversity means that elections are a racial headcount, not a choice between different ways to run the country.
[00:02:10]  Robert Putnam of Harvard is one of many researchers to find that racial diversity destroys trust.
[00:02:18]  He found that people who live in a racial, ethnic mishmash like Los Angeles don't trust their neighbors.
[00:02:26]  They don't trust their politicians.
[00:02:28]  They have few close friends.
[00:02:30]  They don't get involved in the community.
[00:02:32]  They don't do volunteer work.
[00:02:34]  And they are less likely to vote.
[00:02:36]  About the only things they do more of is go on protest marches and watch television.
[00:02:43]  Researchers find the same thing all around the world.
[00:02:47]  The more diversity, racial, religious, tribal, the less people trust each other.
[00:02:54]  Diversity destroys trust.
[00:02:57]  With enough diversity, people stop having much of anything in common.
[00:03:02]  Ultimately, diversity destroys culture.
[00:03:06]  Here's just one example.
[00:03:08]  Take the buildings for the three branches of our government.
[00:03:12]  This is the United States Supreme Court building.
[00:03:15]  This is the executive mansion, known as the White House.
[00:03:19]  And this is the legislative branch, the Congress and the Senate.
[00:03:23]  These buildings could have been built only in a country that draws its culture from Europe and ultimately from Greece and Rome.
[00:03:33]  Here is the National Gallery.
[00:03:35]  And here's even a government office building, the Department of Agriculture.

=== Diversity's Cost to Authenticity (04:55) ===

[00:03:39]  It looks like a Greek temple.
[00:03:42]  These buildings went up before we decided diversity was a strength.
[00:03:47]  We knew we were a European people and we were proud of it.
[00:03:51]  Now, how long will it be before our increasingly non-white country starts calling this white supremacist architecture?
[00:04:00]  Now, imagine what a new Congress or Supreme Court building would have to look like to satisfy black and brown and yellow people.
[00:04:09]  It would have to look Like the Supreme Court of Brazil.
[00:04:13]  Or maybe the Parliament Building of Bangladesh.
[00:04:17]  Or the Opera House in Taichung, Taiwan.
[00:04:21]  Or the United Nations Building.
[00:04:24]  These buildings could be anywhere or nowhere.
[00:04:29]  Countries that don't celebrate diversity can still have a national architecture.
[00:04:34]  The swimming pool at the Ritz-Carlton in Saudi Arabia looks like the inside of a mosque.
[00:04:40]  Even Saddam Hussein's palaces in Baghdad had aesthetic roots in his own culture.
[00:04:47]  The Mongolian parliament looks like it belongs there, especially with those horsemen out in front.
[00:04:54]  And this is the Korean president's house, known as the Blue House.
[00:05:00]  Back in America, this is what happens when we build something completely divorced from European tradition.
[00:05:07]  This is the African-American Museum in Washington, D.C. It doesn't look like anything.
[00:05:15]  And this happens to every part of the culture when the center falls out.
[00:05:21]  What will the multiculties put in the National Gallery?
[00:05:24]  The most beautiful art or affirmative action art?
[00:05:29]  Music, movies, drama.
[00:05:32]  They'll have to satisfy everyone, which means they won't satisfy anyone.
[00:05:37]  Who listens to classical music?
[00:05:39]  White people and some Asians.
[00:05:42]  Well, Oakland, California, used to have a famous symphony orchestra.
[00:05:46]  But it went bust when Oakland became, well, how do the lefties put it?
[00:05:50]  Vibrant. Now, why are so many American movies violent special effects extravaganzas?
[00:05:58]  Because they are made for a world market, the least common denominator.
[00:06:03]  An important part of the world market is China.
[00:06:06]  And already in 2016, the Wall Street Journal was reporting that Hollywood is under pressure to put more Chinese actors in the spotlight.
[00:06:15]  And it's even worse when you have the whole world living in your country.
[00:06:21]  Nothing survives this churning and mixing.
[00:06:26]  Multiculturalism does not mean that authentic national traditions exist side by side.
[00:06:32]  It means all traditions are worn away and destroyed.
[00:06:36]  I support true diversity.
[00:06:39]  I want Japan to remain distinctly and proudly Japanese.
[00:06:44]  I want the same for Nigeria.
[00:06:46]  Every culture, no matter how strange it may seem to us, is beautiful to its own people and deserves to survive.
[00:06:55]  Could this way of life, for example, survive diversity, multiculturalism, and mass immigration?
[00:07:02]  No. And ours can't either.
[00:07:06]  What Americans call diversity is the destruction of everything that is rooted, that is authentic, that rises out of a shared heritage.
[00:07:16]  Genuine diversity means preserving what is rooted, authentic, and the common heritage of a distinct people.
[00:07:25]  Americans understand this when other people are threatened.
[00:07:28]  We don't want New Guinea, for example.
[00:07:31]  To be swamped by outside influences and lose its uniqueness.
[00:07:36]  What we refuse to realize is that we are being swamped.
[00:07:41]  Everything we love, everything we have built will be lost if we turn our country over to people who are not us.
[00:07:49]  Ultimately, we will lose our very selves.
[00:07:53]  If non-white immigration continues and every institution in America promotes intermarriage, In 200 years, there'll be no more white people.
[00:08:03]  There will still be Asians and Africans and Amerindians in the world because most of them live in countries that don't celebrate diversity.
[00:08:13]  But we will disappear.
[00:08:15]  And our culture will disappear along with us.
[00:08:19]  That is the ultimate threat of diversity.
