These things are highly specific to certain places, namely the US.
Waiting in line to vote is unthinkable in much of Europe. And private schools with "better teachers" are a fringe phenomenon elsewhere. "Healthy" grocery stores are usually much more expensive, and people can't afford to buy from them just because they live nearby.
Of course, if you are ready to suffix the claim "diversity is good" with "...in the United States of America", that's fine. But my impression has been that people are trying to establish that diversity is good in principle. And I simply fail to see what theoretical argument supports that belief.

Other parts of the world might not have any present diversity, so asking for more doesn’t really mean the same thing.
- drewdevault 3y agoThis is not unique to the United States. In my home country (the Netherlands), we have an issue with refugees being placed into dedicated camps, encouraging an approach of non-integration. Integrated refugees have better metrics of success, however, and the segregated approach exacerbates numerous problems with the Dutch approach to refugees.
