With diversity we can share our insights, cultures, and foods, and become more welcoming as a people because we see more differences and are exposed enough to them to be accepting. But with that good stuff, diversity can also b a way to bring in the other stuff you might not want, as well as be a chance to lose your own cultural identity because to many others were adopted or a majority of people of different culture have more exposure then your own culture and it's history or it's customs.
Being completely separate from the culture and community your in I think is only worth it if the community is really that bad. Like if you lived in an area with a strong gang atmosphere in it. Bring separate in that case is good to say out of the trouble that is in that environment, and among those people.
Outside of that, being separate should only be done partially. Live in a world that has elements you don't agree with or don't accept, and distance yourself from those elements only. As well as partial separation for the sake of holding to your heritage and customs is something worth doing also. Possibly to retain a bit of diversity staying different instead of melding together in a cultural melting pot.
The down side is with too much separation people often harden themselves from those they distance themselves from. Forming strong "us versus them" vibes. I think that's what is occurring in Islamic immigrant culture. Leaving their culture of o go to the west were they were taught is mostly evil. So they try to stay as distant as possible and cause a deep rift. It's not something I agree with.
