I hear this suggested often - why would homogeneity make a difference? Being too stupid bigotted to benefit yourself if it might help "the other"?

- luckylion 7y ago> why would homogeneity make a difference? Two things I can think of off the top of my head. People more easily help people that are similar to themselves, simply because they can easily see themselves in their shoes. You'd have similar productivity throughout the population, i.e. you won't have some distinct part of the population do most of the work while other distinct parts of the population are primarily taking but not contributing. Having cemented net transfers where, say, protestants to all of the work and catholics sit around collecting welfare will make for unhappy protestants (and you need those to be happy, because they do the work).
