The U.S. isn't any less diverse than Syria or Iraq and the potential conflicts between the groups are no less serious. And at times this has resulted in violence. Ever watch Gangs of New York? So why aren't American Catholics fighting Protestants like Shi'ites fight Sunni? It's not because we're just better people on this side of the pond.

There's still a strong division into Blacks, Hispanics, and Whites in the US in most socio-economic settings.
I imagine they look out for people of their own tribe, but that kind of tribalism does not exist in the US. The point I rebutted was about population control. A good example is the federal governments inability to stop the legalization of pot. They absolutely oppose it but can do fuck all.
