Historian and broadcaster Rafe Heydel-Mankoo explains how increased ethnic diversity weakens society, citing the definitive sociological and economic research into the subject. This is a clip from Rafe's longer speech to the annual conference of the New Culture Forum. To watch the full speech please click here: We are constantly told that “Diversity is our greatest strength“. But where is the evidence? In fact there is little to none. It's a faith-based mantra. The scientific, sociological & economic research shows that, far from being a strength, increased 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.
