> And yet, at the same time, we seem to be in the throes of a backlash against diversity, against mixing, with many people trying to claw their way back to a largely mythical, more homogeneous past.
It's bizarre how a "more homogeneous past" is always dubbed "mythical", while simultaneously admitting diversity has been growing (in the West) for the past ~half century. In the very same article, they say Dartmouth college went from 75% to 50% white in a mere 20 years. So is the 75% white Dartmouth a myth?
