<span style=”color: #000080;”>Fox News host Tucker Carlson sees absolutely no benefit to diversity.</span>

<span style=”color: #000080;”>The opinionated host on Friday questioned how diversity strengthens the U.S. while also suggesting that diversity weakens the workplace, marriages and the military.</span>

<span style=”color: #000080;”>“How precisely is diversity our strength?” Carlson asked.</span>

<span style=”color: #000080;”>“Since you’ve made this our new national motto, please be specific as you explain it,” he said. “Can you think, for example, of other institutions, such as, I don’t know, marriage or military units, in which the less people have in common the more cohesive they are?”</span>

<span style=”color: #000080;”>Carlson asked, “Do you get along better with your neighbors or your co-workers if you can’t understand each other or share no common values?”</span>

<span style=”color: #000080;”>Carlson is apparently ignoring the many benefits of diversity: Studies show that diverse groups are more innovative and creative, diverse groups encourage people to think on a global level, and diversity makes America’s workforce and militaries more competitive.</span>

<span style=”color: #000080;”>In the military, diversity is especially valuable. </span>

<span style=”color: #000080;”>A 2017 analysis on diversity in the armed services noted that racial and gender diversity is “associated with better creative problem solving, innovation and improved decisionmaking.”</span>

<span style=”color: #000080;”>“Those who argue for diversity initiatives in the military argue that a more diverse force has the potential to be more efficient and flexible, able to meet a broader set of challenges,” the analysis says.</span>

<span style=”color: #000080;”>Carl Forsling, a retired Marine and senior columnist for Task and Purpose, saw the benefits of a diverse military firsthand.</span>

<span style=”color: #000080;”>“In the military, we sometimes add tactical necessity to the mix — the Marine Lioness program is an example,” Forsling wrote in 2015, referencing a program that used female Marines to collect intel from local Iraqi women.</span>

<span style=”color: #000080;”>“Additionally,” Forsling continued, “in a military operating in far-flung reaches of the world, having diverse backgrounds often leads to units having individuals conversant in the culture or language of an area of operations.”</span>

<span style=”color: #000080;”>While Carlson is no stranger to attacks on liberal values ― this definitely is not his first rant against diversity ― many people are still confused about why he doesn’t see its benefits, especially in the military. </span>

<span style=”color: #000080;”>On Twitter, British politician Oliver Cooper pointed out that diversity was essentially one of America’s national mottos: “E pluribus unum,” “Out of many, one.”</span>

This perfectly explains the white nationalist attitude of Fox News.

Nearly half of the residents in the nation’s five biggest cities do not speak English at home, choosing instead their native language, according to the latest Census Bureau data that details the impact of a decade of soft immigration policies.

Diversity in action?

It’s hardly the first time that that’s been the case and America not only survived people speaking Italian, Polish, German and other languages, but thrived in many cases.

So what’s your point?  Oh, you may not know this but we don’t have an official language in this country nor do we need one.  We’ve gotten along just fine for over 500 years not having one.

There is no official language at the U.S. federal level. However, 32 states of the United States, in some cases as part of what has been called the English-only movement, have adopted legislation granting official status to English.

And yet our Constitution prohibits the enforcement of that.  Must be red states who like to ignore the parts of the Constitution that inhibit their bigotry.
