Americans don't trust each other any more. Since Senator (((Jacob Javitz))) pushedthe (((Immigration and Nationality Act of 1965))) though the Senate, which legalized the immigration of Africans, Asians, and Latin Americans, the homogeneity of society and therefore trust in neighbors and institutions began to die. Fast forward 50 years later and 2/3 of society doesn't trust their neighbors or government.

Diversity CAUSES detachment from the community, even if your history there is long standing

Diversity causes negative economic growth at the macro level and conflict, reduced productivity, and morale reduction at the micro level
As diversity increases, people vote less, volunteer less, give less to charity, work less on community projects. Neighbour trust is half what it would be in homogenous neighborhoods. All measures of civic health are lower in diverse areas.
The greater the diversity, the greater the societal distrust. People like the idea of immigration until they are actually confronted with immigrants in their neighborhood, then they become strongly averse to immigration.
The greater the diversity, the greater the societal distrust. When people of different ethnicities get to within 80 meters of one another, neighborhood cohesion and social trust begin to decline. As diversity and proximity increase, trust and cohesion plummet. The macro opinion is often the opposite of the micro opinion on diversity because those at the macro level don't have to be confronted with diversity.
Ethnic homogeneity and Protestantism are the only two ideas that create high trust societies. This is obviously caveated by the fact that they have to be white, with the exception of Singapore, South Korea, Japan.
Ethnocentric societies are the most successful ones. Any society that chooses a humanitarian path will lose to selfishness and traitors.
