The US is nowhere near as diverse as many other countries with lower crime rates, and lower murder rates, and strict gun control.

And here's the countries of the world, sortable by murder rate:

There's literally zero correlation between diversity and murder rates, which should be obvious just by looking at America:

The city with the highest murder rate is literally almost 100% one race.

And yet incredibly diverse places like NYC have a murder rate on par with the average murder rate for the entire country.

And yet, if you drive a few hours down the road to Buffalo New York, which is 50% White and 50% black, the murder rate is really high again...

It's almost like diversity has literally nothing to do with crime.

Because diversity has literally nothing to do with crime.
