Why is diversity a good thing?

The value of diversity:
In a society where we were all the same color, same religion, same
political
party,
same social values, etc.....some of the best and most creative parts of
each
individual member would atrophy for lack of use.

Japan, for example, is a largely homogenous society. One race.
Yet the Japanese constantly out do the US in just about every endeavor,
education, technology, medicine, crime prevention, etc.
China and India too are both mainly homogenous societies yet are beating the
pants off the US in the manufacturing arena.
I'll submit that diversity, in itself, is what is eroding the core values of
the US, the rights and freedom of the individual, regardless of race, color
or creed.
The US public schools are dismal as a result of its focus on *diversity*
rather than education.
The proof abounds that diversity in and of itself does more harm than good.
Further proof is provided that for the past few days my question, *Why is
diversity a good thing?*, has went way over the heads of many people, like
Doug Kanter for example, and are thus left to flounder in their own confused
words.
Here's my take on the whole thing:
Diversity alone is not a good thing, and there is no proof to show
otherwise.
People should be free to associate with whom they please.
All things should be addressed in a moderate manner as there is more wrong
than good in a singular mentality.
To claim that diversity is universally good is disingenuous on its face.
I thank you for your reasoned reply, Gould.
