"It almost sounds like you're implying X would be easier..." looks like a claim that they want to reach situation X. With some uncertainty thrown on top.

In the case of "cultural and ethnically homogeneous society", there are two ways to get there: Either slowly melting pot over hundreds of years minimum, or drastic bad actions that destroy people's lives and strip culture instead of sharing it.

And since anyone alive today will be long dead by the time the first one possibly happens, it looks like a claim that they would be in favor of the second one.

So yeah, that would cause strong disagreement. It's a revolting thing to be associated with.

But it's not because the literal thing you said is wrong. The literal thing you said is correct. It is easier to not have to worry about those differences.

And there's no contradiction in any of that. What specific opinions are you calling contradictory?
