Some violent extremist groups wrongly say that for the United States to succeed, its citizens should all be of one culture. However, there are amazing benefits to diversity, and minority groups like immigrants contribute a great deal to American society,” one statement says.
Oh for Christ's sake. They're conflating race and culture. My grandparents are German and Colombian. If you were to ask them what they are they are American!!! Am I German? No. Am I Colombian? No. My biological dad isn't either and unlike me he can actually speak Spanish. We're both, of course, Americans. We all come from different places but we're supposed to share one American culture.
It's absolutely necessary if you're going to have a multiethnic society. These bastards want our cou try to get torn apart in racial conflict at this rate
Literally almost every society except very small tribes are multi-ethnic; and an American racial abstraction doesn't really apply to the rest of human history.
That being said, many of the most successful states tended to be Empires of one kind or another, who had multi-ethnic societies, and even "multi-cultural" aspects to it.
This is not to say that multi-ethnicity brings strength. Just that it's typically a non-sequitur. The issue is whether or not these different ethnic groups that fall under a state's jursidiction consider that state legitimate, or are prepared to be unified as a "nation" under an imperial banner (like Islam, Britain, Ottomans, Germans, all did; and like the Hapsburgs failed to do). Yes purely dynastic rule, like the Hapsburgs, is possible over different peoples, but it's not exactly a hugely stable system since the population always regard their rulers as foreign in some way or another.

Goddamn traitors more like.
Ehh, I just don't think a multi-racial society will ever really work.

They are conflating race and culture because the Left is absolutely filled to the brim with racialists.
