To build on my last point, let's consider another example that highlights the power of economic diversity: George Washington Carver. As a black innovator and scientist in America, Carver revolutionized agriculture with his work on crop rotation and alternative crops like peanuts, which dramatically improved the livelihoods of countless farmers.
His contributions weren’t just about innovation; they transformed the U.S. economy in significant ways, especially in the South, and improved the quality of life for people of all backgrounds.
Now, let's look at someone more recent:
Elon Musk. He wasn’t even born in America, yet look at what he’s done for the country. From revolutionizing space exploration with SpaceX to pushing the boundaries of electric vehicles with Tesla, Musk’s contributions have had a massive impact on the U.S. economy and global innovation.
If America had banned “others,” we might have missed out on someone like Musk—and the economic benefits he brought with him.
That’s my point about economic diversity being our real strength.
It’s not about where someone comes from or what their ethnicity is—it’s about the unique value they bring to the table. When we open our doors to innovators from all walks of life, we build a stronger, more dynamic economy.
No single group, by itself, can replicate the collective contributions of diverse entrepreneurs. That’s why economic diversity, not ethnic homogeneity, is what truly drives progress.
