This is not some sort of warm-and-fuzzy "Isn't diversity nice?" sentiment on my part. It's my cold assessment of the situation.

1930's Germany was a largely homogeneous society, with just enough of a minority group to serve as the scapegoat, the hated Others.

U.S. society is much, much more diverse. Too many different cultures to get us marching in lockstep.
