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.
  • mlrtime 1y ago
    Diversity is just a statistic, it's neither good or bad in either direction.
    • ThunderSizzle 1y ago
      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.
          • defrost 1y ago
            One extreme counters another extreme, the point is that neither are relevant, the third link is there for fans of The Bell Curve.
            • 3cKU 1y ago
              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.
