Diversity
From The Art and Popular Culture Encyclopedia

"Diversity seems to trigger not in-group/out-group division, but anomie or social isolation. In colloquial language, people living in ethnically diverse settings appear to “hunker down”—that is, to pull in like a turtle." --"E Pluribus Unum: Diversity and Community in the Twenty-First Century" (2007) |
