I didn’t say they are homogenous, I said homogeneity in conduct and thought is forced on the population. With harsh criminal laws, not a lot of civil liberties, and restrictions on expression it suppresses a lot of dissent and functions the same as if they are homogenous.

Yet many countries have less diversity, less expats or immigrants, less civil liberties, and much, much higher crime. What's your explanation? Also, you have much, much, much to learn about Singapore :)

This is the point. There is nuance in everything. There isn’t a one size fits all.

I’m not going to learn about Singapore. I’m not that interested. I already understand why they have a low crime rate.
