My last words: DeBlasssssssssio
-
I lived in diverse (Brazil/US) and non diverse (Germany/Japan) places and there’s definitely something about our tribalist impulses that makes non diverse places quite more orderly. Theres good and bad on both cases though. Ready to be arrested by DeBlasio now.
Heterogenous countries will have ore inter-ethnic strife, but Germany and Japan are orderly, not because they're homogenous, but because they are homogenously German and Japanese. German immigrants are committing the crime. Japanese emigres don't commit crimes. Check the graphs:pic.twitter.com/CK5QNf0o2B

I suppose I should have worded it better, by homogeneous I was including not only ethnicity but also culture/values, low inequality etc. But clearly other factors are playing a big role, Canada seems an interesting case, for example. Good charts, thanks!

Word - Canada is a good example of diversity and crime being negatively correlated. Also: Haiti and Russia, both high crime but fairly homogenous.
