That was a big mistake on their part though. The 56%er Amerimutt is a real phenomenon, a nation must only be comprised of only one ethnic group if it is to survive. If there were going to be multiple groups of colonizers, what they should’ve done is divide the country into one section for each group and forbid mixing. The way it is now, the United States is the biggest thorn in Europe’s side, and it is beyond repair at this point.

I respectfully disagree with all of that. America built a new ethnicity themselves. Mostly a good mix of NW European groups. Also many European countries were, once upon a time, just one ethnicity and now they're every bit as polyglot and 'diverse' as America. Just having one ethnicity isn't enough.

White Americans have gotten along fine throughout our history, with the French, Dutch, Germans, Irish and some Scandinavians here pretty much from day one. Sure there was occasional friction between the Irish and English and later on towards Italians and some Eastern Europeans, but nothing major, and eventually all assimilated to the predominant anglo culture and by ww1 were fighting and dying with each other as Americans on European battlefields. It was a largely successful experiment. It was proof Europeans were all similar enough to do well together once they adopted a similar language and identified as one nationality. I'm not saying that should be the case for Europe, or even Australia and Canada, but in the US it worked well and made white Americans unique among European people. "whites" in the US still generally have 100% European ancestry, and given how Europe is doing these days, are probably far more white than much of the modern European gene pool.

In the US, diversity didnt become a codeword for white hating subversion and demographic warfare until well after ww2.
