I like diversity in individuals but it doesn't stop there.

Like-diversities gravitate towards each other forming groups and groups tend to reveal they are nothing more than flocks. Humans are a naturally herding species. Then some individual suggests identifying a shepherd in the midst to lead the flock. The suggestion may not find a quorum of influence at first but there will eventually be one person who sells himself to the majority and he becomes the figurehead by vote or by force, either way being the recurring manner in which they find their way to the top.

That's just one group. Others have formed already, or are forming at any given time, and we end up with co-habitating diverse groups. Sooner or later one will break the uneasy peace of cohabitation and seek prominence. Before they do they will learn all there is to know about the others, their strengths and weaknesses, and build their own strengths up to ensure they are the dominant force. Businesses the world over in competitive industries still structure their market strategies using the simple SWOT principal (strengths, weaknesses, opportunities and threats).

The dominant group absorbs by force or persuasion the other groups with all their cultural diversities. Some aspects of those diversities are tolerated by the dominant group, some are not. Some are prohibited and may well be the reason the dominant group absorbed the others in the first place; to eradicate them. Hence we have genocide, to example one method. Religious suppression is another. Tolerance and intolerance are relative terms.

The various diversities within the larger group, we now call cultural diversity, all vie for equal dispensation and consideration in a democratic society. They represent themselves by sponsoring spokesmen (lobbyists) and do this to ensure their voice is present and heard whenever appropriate at the seat of local and higher government.

Taking example from culturally diverse group representation models, other lesser groups of a wider diversity begin to form and orbit the same government entities, such as the LBGT> demographic, and go into action and reaction as necessary on their own behalf.

In this manner the best interests of the population become so diluted and selectively refuted at the grass roots level that there no longer resides a common grass roots level in that country. No single political candidate can possibly find common ground in them all. These manifold groups scream foul the very second any political candidate forgets or otherwise fails to mention them (by name) and their well being during his campaign. These cat calls from the innumerable groups range is accusations from racism to bigotry to partisanship, favoritism, etc, etc, and it becomes one big joke. I just described the American demographic and its political landscape.

So, one person's opinion in deference to anothers does not lead to harmony, never has and never will. What we end up with, instead, are people who are highly skilled at complaining but offer no solutions because there aren't any.

That's why we dubbed ourselves the Human race, and why I have made the conscious choice to reject it in any manner that suits me.
