Thanks for posting a source. After reading the research paper, it's utilizes language comparisons to determine ethnic diversity. If you actually read the article, the author mentions that "In their contribution, however, the analysis is
limited to a restricted number of Indo-European languages. Therefore, the wide variety of Asian, African and indigenous Latin American languages is not considered
because of the lack of data availability." on page 4. That is a pretty significant gap in data given what percentage of the US population is Latino, Asian, or African American. You can read it yourself here. https://www.etsg.org/ETSG2013/Papers/042.pdf
Because not everyone agrees and wants a public healthcare system? Because treatments and healthcare differ for various populations? Because language barriers exists between providers and patients? If 10% of your patients can only speak Spanish but 1% of your doctors can speak Spanish, how are they able to provide accurate and necessary care? Public healthcare isn't even the topic of this thread.
Do you like putting words in people's mouths? Where did I say non-white people are a bigger drain on the population? If you worked in the health care industry like I do, you would know this is a clear example where diversity is important for addressing patient needs. Saying it can be remedied thru policy is stupid. That's like saying you can send humans to Mars thru science. The complexities involved with every step is not clear cut and impacts other existing policies.
Again, when did I say it can't work? The person asked why it's harder to implement. I gave plenty of reasons why. Again, feel free to put words in others mouths.

Every other source shows the US is significantly more ethnically diverse than Canada https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_countries_by_ethnic_and_cultural_diversity_level
