> it's equally easy to point to income inequality for this Have you ever considered what causes income inequality? Maybe policy that favors globalist, ownership class over salaried workers? H1B in it's current form favors owners/managers over workers! We are saying the same thing. We have to analyze the causes of income inequality in order to solve it. I will leave you with one last thought: the states with the lowest gini co-efficient are the ones that have been more conservative over time https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_U.S._states_and_territories_by_income_inequality https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_U.S._states_and_territ... policy matters!

I am writing you from one of the two red Southern ones that is a glaring counterexample.

  "the states with the lowest gini co-efficient are the ones that are the least diverse" seems a better fit.

    Diversity is just a statistic, it's neither good or bad in either direction.

      Not all forms of diversity is strength. Mixing a wolf with a bunch of sheep isn't diversity, it's dinner time.

        Inbreeding in small populations (your first two links) is not relevant, and your third link is a false equivalence.

        One extreme counters another extreme, the point is that neither are relevant, the third link is there for fans of The Bell Curve.

        At least you'll admit that your ideas are extreme. That false equivalence does nothing to rebut the bell curve.

  The Southern states that I'm aware of which have "strong economies" got that way by slashing worker and environmental protections. I don't think that's actually a compelling counterexample.
