> In numerous cases of apparently ethno-nationalist conflict, the deepest hatreds are manifested between people who—to most outward appearances—exhibit very few significant distinctions. It is one of the great contradictions of civilization and one of the great sources of its discontents, and Sigmund Freud even found a term for it: “the narcissism of the small difference.” As he wrote, “It is precisely the minor differences in people who are otherwise alike that form the basis of feelings of hostility between them.”

It's just a part of the human condition, sadly, to hate others based on the smallest of differences. And you will always find a difference, even among the most homogeneous of societies - be it the color of your hair, the pigment of your skin, your accent... it follows then that a homogenous society is not a solution; rather, fostering awareness and understanding around discrimination is the way forward.

Part of me wants to agree with you, but you're using a very broad definition of hate for this to be true. This isn't the visceral hatred of the kid who bullied you all through school stealing your girlfriend in college, getting you framed and expelled from university, and then ending up your boss at the one place you could get a job. Such hatreds have been known to result in murder, after all. They're intense, they burn hot, and if the feeling manifests, a person seems unable to resist acting.

It's the "hate" of making the occasional (once every few years) joke about the village 10 miles down the road, and playing (good natured) pranks on them if/when they show up in your village. Someone else might insist that it's not hatred at all, but something more like "mistrust of strangers" or "self-sequestration". The choice of "hatred" isn't so much linguistically sensible, as it is about staking out a political position. And you just can't do that unless you've characterized this intrinsic human hesitation when dealing with strangers as "hatred". Can't really stand up on the podium and rant about how those other guys are stand-offish and don't make friends quickly.

The late 20th century Swedes weren't raping each other to any great degree. Homogeneity served them well. There wasn't any large degree of arson and assault in Japan in that same period. And while I might agree with you that homogeneity isn't a solution for any of their current problems, zealous heterogeneity of the sorts being pursued today might well be an anti-solution to be avoided.

> rather, fostering awareness and understanding around discrimination is the way forward.

The way forward to what, exactly? When you say things like this, it indicates that you have some vision of the future. I am not party to that vision, I do not know what it is, and no one else has bothered to describe it to me very much. Then, even if I do know this vision (and agree with it, I might not), I have to determine for myself whether or not your methods align with your aims. It might very much not ne the "way forward", you might be going backwards and believing you're going forward.

You've chosen a couple of very specific examples here (coincidentally, the same ones often chosen by neo-nazis). There are many well-known examples of very similar peoples hating each other and leading to widespread violence, several of which are mentioned in the linked article.

Characterizing these as "good natured pranks" seems to deliberately miss the point in favor of reinforcing your priors.
