No, we are seeing a typical diversity outcome: two groups fighting for control of the nation.

Diversity makes every ethnic group into a special interest group. 
 @2a48eef0 The many kingdoms and empires of europe and the middle east all faired for quite a long time, freely mixing territories and populations. Racist nationalism arose only because the bourgeois found it useful to conduct wars against each other

That's some serious historical revisionism disproven by genetic data in Europe.

The middle east is mixed race, and it has caused no end of conflict apparently.
