People often refer to the Scandinavian countries or Japan as examples of low ethnic diversity and high trust.

Are there any quantitative studies on this topic? It would be a stronger argument if a clear trend was observable over many countries.

If I was searching for comparisons, I would look at Stockholm and suburbs in 1990s compared with present. I am told there are now areas where those born in .se and the police just avoid due to take-over by gangs of (some) recent immigrants.

> Scandinavian countries examples of low ethnic diversity

That's no longer the case and hasn't really been for a decade or two at least. Especially in Sweden.

What’s the argument supposed to be? Homogeneity in service of peace?

I’d rather live in a diverse hellhole than some whitewashed “utopia”.

I think you are failing to distinguish between 'is' and 'ought' here.
