  "That's not to say the culture, values, and ethics are inextricably bound to the ethnicity, but it is without a doubt a vehicle for sustainment and major factor in policy success or failure." Perhaps I read this wrong, what is a vehicle for whether a policy is successful or a failure? EDIT: I just realized what you meant. Ethical values are transmitted through culture but whether they are followed isn't.

    I worded it very poorly. Ethnicity is, historically, the primary vehicle for the sustainment of culture, values, and ethics. The degree of homogeneity of culture, values, and ethics are a major factor in policy success or failure. Therefore, an ethnically homogeneous area is much more likely to have homogeneous culture, values, and ethics and policies that reflect those things. Sometimes, that homogeneity entails characteristics that lead to a generous, happy, high trust, flourishing society, like Finland. Sometimes it leads to Nazi Germany.

      "Sometimes, that homogeneity entails characteristics that lead to a generous, happy, high trust, flourishing society, like Finland. Sometimes it leads to Nazi Germany." So given that and the fact that there are other factors that could effect trust, happiness, and success doesn't that basically tell you it isn't a meaningful factoe?

        That what isn't a meaningful factor?
