A pervasive problem in the social sciences is that race/ethnicity is such a massive causal factor that more subtle questions like @RobertDPutnam's worries about diversity -- E.g., Is a white-Asian suburb worse than an all white or all Asian suburb? -- are hard to answer.

What was Compton like when the Bushes lived there?
-
Yes, amusingly, Compton was home to two future US Presidents in 1949. Apparently, it was kind of nice back then. Compton still has a black mayor, but by the 2010 Census it was already 65% Hispanic. Crime is now way down versus "Straight Outta Compton" days.

He doesn't argue that white + black < black < white. He argues that the blacks in a diverse neighborhood have lower social trust *with other blacks* than the blacks in a black neighborhood.

And this is also after adjusting for income. So the argument is that, e.g., working class blacks in a diverse neighborhood show more social problems than they do in an all-black area, not that the diverse neighborhood overall has higher dysfunction than an all-black neighborhood.

Would that be the research that he hid for years because it showed that diversity is as destructive as a nuclear weapon crossed with Ebola? THAT research?
