The OP assumes everyone is like him and enjoys meeting others from other cultures and gets along with everyone. Painfully naive indeed.

  It’s more the point that NOT everyone feels this way and we’re sorting those who like multiculturalism into cities more and more efficiently. So the political divisions are not between nation states but between increasingly aligned urban centers and everywhere else (the hinterlands.)

    *In the US. You won't find quite as much multiculturalism in the cities of India, China, Japan, Turkey, or most of Africa (including North Africa).

      That’s likely true, but I still feel the prevalence for cities to be relatively more cosmopolitan (for a variety of reasons) still holds. The incentives are for them to become more aligned with other cities than their own nations.
