Yes Putnam was wrong in implying that homogeneity in and of itself was a recipe for social capital. The society has to be comprised of high-trust/IQ people to begin with.

Many of the downsides of diversity stem from the particular groups involved rather than interaction between them—levels of trust being one example.

If his famous study only looked at (formerly) white-majority societies & cultural niches, then that was a massive oversight. Hence blames ‘diversity’ when it might more accurately be viewed from race realism POV and/or r-selection vs k-selection angle. Magic dirt vs tragic dirt!

If you define diversity as the American Left does as simply getting rid of white people then Putman’s conclusions hold.

The question is whether the black part of a mixed town is better or worse than an all-black town. Also all-black towns still embedded in an overall system of white paternalism. Detroit is more dangerous than many African cities.

Depends on how you define social capital. What’s good for the goose isn’t always good for the gander, if you catch my drift.
