"They went as far as praising Switzerland's diversity and inclusiveness... Come on..."
As someone who owns a business in CH and visits there relatively frequently, I understand what you are saying, but I have two initial responses to you:
1) technically, CH is, in fact quite diverse in terms of population stats - especially Zurich and Geneva. I was surprised to look up and see that 25% of the population of CH is foreign born[1].
2) That being said, to whatever degree CH is really, really homogeneous (and it definitely seems so as you travel outside Zurich/Geneva/Basel) isn't that a feature ? Isn't that the point of a Switzerland ? I don't want the entire world to be strip malls and walmarts - I enjoy local culture and diversity in nations.
