>I'll bite too: state that theorem as its inverse and dare to argue for it: Demographic uniformity is a good thing.
Well, if you have it, demographic uniformity is a good thing indeed. If anything it translates to less racial tension, more intra-community trust etc.
That doesn't mean that it's good to expel people, minorities etc, to achieve it if you don't have it. But if you do have it it's translates to fewer problems along the way. In the end, you either struggle FOR integration (ie towards "demographic uniformity") or different groups struggle to exclude the others (ie towards "demographic uniformity" again, but in their favor).
Just ask any African country that has been plagued by different ethnicities and cultures into war for power / control...
