I don't buy that as a stand-alone idea anyway because really what they're trying to say with that is that America's greatness is due to America's diversity, and that has not a thing to do with it.

And I urge you, amid all the differences present to the eye and mind, to reach out to create the bond that...will protect us all. We are all meant to be here together.

You can go to places all over the place world and you can find the most diversity, you can find perfect diversity, however you find it. You will not find a United States.
