But regardless of the why. Let's be more specific: New York is one of the most diverse cities. Let's say you want to make New York less diverse. How would you do that without forcibly relocating people?
It's not unlike the notion that men need all-male spaces, and women need all-female spaces.
Not sure how that analogy works unless you're advocating for separate bathrooms for ethnic groups.
Here's the actual study: http://citeseerx.ist.psu.edu/viewdoc...=rep1&type=pdf
(For future reference, I'm never interested in projections and interpretations. We're adults, let's just go to the source.)
So he's being very clear that diversity is very beneficial in the long term, but has some short term drawbacks. Unless you want to argue that the short term discomforts outweigh the long term benefits (much like exercising or eating carrots instead of twinkies,) I don't think this is a source you want to use to argue in favor of separatism.
