>The USA keeps popping up as an example, but their homogeneity is the result of a civil war which was their bloodiest war to date. This backs up my claim. Though our homogeneity wasn't the result of the war. > And Europe is not that diverse. I don't even. It's fairly white...But not diverse? Are you kidding? > What's the problem in the single currency or in the unifying political body? Disproportionate outcome of opportunity. Greece voted fat pensions and benefits for their citizenry (as did Spain and Italy) and in order to protect the currency and the political stability of the EU Germans are stuck footing the bill. Common currencies work when it is relatively easy for anyone (including lower classes) to up and move within the region of the common currency to get a new job. The diverse culture, language differences, and disparate sovereignties in the EU make this difficult. Hence the bailouts and the blowback. >divided we'll be at their whims United you're holding each other hostage. You guys look like the Microsoft org chart right now.

What. You are either extremely disinformed, malicious or just plainly racist to believe and redistribute that kind of wrong information. If the Germans had to pay Greece's, Italy's and Spain's debt they would be bankrupted for a couple of centuries. It's actually those very same countries who are paying their own debts through austerity measures and increase of taxes (which doesn't seem to work really well, but that's a different discussion). Germany has grown so much thanks to those countries spending money on German manufactures, with money lent mainly by German and Dutch banks. It has been all a massive scam where North Europe has used the corrupt politicians in South Europe to siphon all the money of South European citizens. They took the risks gambling with the money of Northern European citizens. This is and always have been a class war, not a national or race war. Those of you who can't see it are doomed to be puppets of others.
