Psychology research shows that all social groups tend to become more extreme over time.
Which is why diversity doesn't work unless you have some some kind of strong uniting civil society forced on everyone from childhood, or one group is is culturally dominant - supreme, if you will.
The basis of the modern world-order is the nation-state, a single people with a core ethos united in a single political entity. Due to convenience, the majority of these nation-states are ethno-states; people do not move away from the land of their birth without an impetus. They have disagreements over the best method to reach their common goal, and these disagreements are peaceful and do not disrupt the cohesion of the nation.
The basis of the post-modern world order, by contrast, is the destruction of the nation-state by fracturing the nation to empower the State. Foreigners are imported and natives are separated from the old ethos to further disunity. They are two or more peoples occupying the same physical space and vying for control of the same political system, not to implement their policies to achieve common goals, but to achieve mutually-exclusive goals.
Of course, this post-modern world order is a recipe for conflict. Every history of every people who ever lived in a state that was not a nation-state (or city-state, where the city was a subset of the nation) contains a horrific, bloody chapter where the peoples in that state fought over power and against the neighbor-turned-enemy. Southeastern Europe, where the scions of Islamic invaders settled, Africa and the post-Ottoman Near East, contemporary China, and in every place where tribes of early man settled, vicious conflicts erupted over the control of resources.
The post-modern world order will collapse in a fountain of blood that will leave Rwanda, Bosnia, and Syria footnotes in a chapter of history that will, if we are fortunate, be written and retold so that future generations do not make the same mistake our ancestors have, unless by some miracle we can forestall this fate and reverse the forming of the abyss that has separated the nations from themselves.
