Diversity typically means the general practice of 'including' people with a wide range of different social/ethnic landscapes, and differing orientations of sex (genders to the extreme).
So, here's the image you need to observe. When the Romans arrived...they did their best to 'package' up German tribes and force them into one consolidated group. When the Catholic Church arrived....they did their best to 'package' up German villages, towns and cities into one consolidated group. When the Prussia folks arrived....they did their best to 'package' up German states into one nation.
There is this long line of effort to make German society function as one single group. As much as you can whip up enthusiasm for diversity....it's just not the type of diversity that you would see in the US. Sure....everyone in Germany is kinda against the Bavarians. Yes, the welfare people hate the people who have 'it'. It's true that the Greta-kids are on a mission to save mankind and hate everyone who disagrees with them.
But this general culture has various elements of 'glue' that bind society.
The weird kinky sexual stuff? Well....there were guys dressed like women in the 1920s and in Berlin and Hamburg....it was already accepted. The fetish business? It's been around Germany for a thousand years already.
Trying to be a loser in society? In German society, you can only go so far being a loser, then you live under a bridge or you find some park where you permanently camp out. Germans aren't going to give that much sympathy to you or your path in life.
No talk radio? Nope.....never took place in Germany.
Use of TV fake news for propaganda purposes in Germany? ARD/ZDF (public TV) probably carries some elements, but lets be fair.....just an awful lot of Germans no longer watch public TV in Germany. If you went to the 15-to-30 year old group, I doubt if you can find more than 10-percent of society who regularly watch the public forums off the public networks.
German skepticism? I'd say after 1945, just a lot of Germans sat in disbelief of how the Nazi machine picked up things and arranged society. So this whole game of diversity that you see in the US.....has some Germans fairly skeptical.
Talking gender stuff with a skeptical German? Well....right off the bat, they want your general plan on how you will earn a living, pay taxes, and live a stable lifestyle. Yes, the nitty gritty details of living in a world that does not wait on you to be 'fixed'. The sex stuff? Well....let's be honest on this....they've seen just about everything you can imagine, so the gender stuff isn't exactly bold or refreshingly new. (Don't even bring the latest cannibal news story from Berlin-Pankow....teacher 'eats' car mechanic)
So I'll end this essay with this. Once you get to a point where 50-percent of your pay-check goes to some government tax....diversity doesn't really amount to much.
