If we are all the same in our differences then why in the world are there any ethnic neighborhoods?

We can start with government authorities using their power to prohibit property rights, from slavery and indentured servitude to sundown laws to redlining.
Then add in such things as anti-competition regs and corporate welfare and tax loopholes and inherited wealth.
Oh! And let's not forget good old propaganda and classism.
So in your view the government and corporations are trying to atone for past and current sins?
What if say reparations are actually paid to black Americans? Do you think that will solve this problem and that all the problems will dissapear and all will suddenly be well?
I apologize for asking...
...but I am not sure I get the point you are trying to make.

The opposite of "diversity" is
"Homogeneity"
Diversity still allows for differences, individually unique qualities. Homogeneity "blends" all qualities into one, uniform "sameness".
