Diversity in itself is not our strength. The Western philosophy and values that allow for Diversity, that was the root of our strength. Western culture was what made us a coherent people regardless of race, or creed, or origin. That’s what made us coherent. And the belief in the supremacy of that Western culture propelled our exceptionalism.
- Samuel Huntington
