Sorry but this is a little disingenuous. There are plenty of ethnically and racially homogenous shitholes with high murder rates.

Haiti immediately comes to mind of course. But Turkey is another example - the murder rate there is 5/100k, which is 10x higher than Switzerland - and they ethnically cleansed the diversity out of Turkey in 1918.

It's not diversity perse, it's which ingredients are going into the Melting Pot. You can mix Japanese and Swiss into a city and I guarantee you're not going to see the murder rate spike. Put in Haitians and Turks and well... pack body armour.
