Is there any instance in all of History where a "diverse" society became un-diverse through any means OTHER than violent ethnic cleansing?
To ask specifically, once blacks were introduced into American society through slavery, was there ever any realistic chance of removing them?
Well forcible =\= violent. Plenty of people's have been forcibly relocated. Plus in the case of the blacks in the 19th century I don't think much coercion would have been needed.
By diverse you mean multiethnic or multiracial? Because there's quite the difference.
Brazil is becoming less diverse through frequent intermarriage. Does this count?
By the 19th century the US was the only home these blacks knew. That's not that easy to let go of.
Situations where different peoples simple interbreed to such an extent that the differences become unrecognizable.
the Balkans 1910-1950 was more or less non-stop mutual busing of minorities between newly established nation-states.
You think I don't know that?
What I mean is that as slaves, if there was a mental association between freedom and deportation, which was the case for a lot of them, it would have been an easy pill to swallow.
The emancipation followed by deportation really isn't a far fetched scenario.
Yeah but usually came about as the aftermath of super destructive wars.
The Southern US was historically black majority until the mid-20th century with the great migration of niggers to elsewhere in the country. All they had to do was maintain strict weapons laws in favor of whites and do a few lynching and the rest just flocked away. Wilmington, NC went from majority black to majority white overnight after a riot that killed small numbers of nigs. Violence is pretty much just necessity, but you don't have to go full on genocide. If you hit one nigger out of a big group the rest scatter in fear. White Southerners did this to decrease their nigger population and now every Southern state is majority white.
>now every Southern state is majority white.
Are Mississippi, South Carolina, and Louisiana still part of the south?
Dishonest. Spic immigration has nothing to do with his post.
Some Blacks were sent back to Africa but they imitated the plantation system they had learned about here and enslaved tribes.
The practice continued into the twentieth century, companies like firestone can tell you all about it. They still use child labor to this day.
and the slavery may very well be alive and strong as well, situation is fluid id imagine.
Those states have lots of mixing in them lol.
>the Balkans 1910-1950 was more or less non-stop mutual busing of minorities between newly established nation-states.
Are you implying those weren't the results of violence?
>The Southern US was historically black majority
At no point in history was any state of the United States a black-majority state.
Whites have always outnumbered blacks, in every state.
It's an extremely common theme that diverse societies balkanize, cleanse, or otherwise fail entirely without a strongman keeping it from happening. Or one party is just so small it's bred out of distinction by a larger one.
China did so via memes.
The "Han Chinese" is actually a diverse collection of races and languages who were memed into belonging to an ur-culture through Imperial "Muh Middle Kingdom Center of Civilization" memes of the various Imperial Dynasties.
>via memes
And also a bloody civil war and an oppressive dictorship...
I thought the idea predated communism. Though your description applies to a million other parts of Chinese history from what I know.
Exactly
All "unification" in Chinese history is predated by blood and upheld through blood before being destroyed by blood.
We're talking about "solving the problem of diversity."
Chinese rebellions and civil wars were often gripes about the government and Post-Dynastic free-for-alls to determine who gets the Mandate of Heaven. Rarely were they triggered by "muh racial purity, muh independence" things. Even revolts vs. foreign dynasties were framed within the context of them losing the Mandate of Heaven as opposed to the race they belonged to.
That sort of shit was what was going on *outside* lands that are considered "Han Chinese." Say, Vietnamese struggles for independence.
With a tasteful bit of cannibalism
It was often more or less forced on the population, but it was always an agreement between sovereign countries and was generally conducted with minmal amounts of violence. The greco-turkish exchange especially, was very clean.
How does force not at least imply the threat of violence?
Centralisation of government policy, eg. language of education, courts, etc. has done a pretty good job of stomping out minority ethnic groups that were previously relatively stable.
Look at France five hundred years ago, and it was a patchwork of different cultural and ethnic groups. Mostly closely related to those in Paris, like the Occitans, but others that were quite different, like the Basque, Bretons, Dutch, Luxem-burgers, Germans, and Italians.
By about 1950, the pendulum had reached it's limits and it started swinging back.
>limits
Are you implying immigration and refugees were inevitable?
