I bet you will hear something like they are homogeneous. 

That won't work, for the very simple reason that it doesn't take into account fundamental aspects of human nature---that even if you have just  "the same type" of people, they will find reasons to for "destructive differentiation".  "Clans" within a "tribe", "sub-clans" within a "clan", etc.   Even in the USA not all whites are "the same": people will note the differences between, say,  "proper whites" and "white trash".

As far as I can tell, "homogeneity",  regardless of the "level,  helps only when looking outwards---Us vs. Them.   When looking inwards, i.e. all "Us", it is quite another matter.   

Anyways ... I have lived in some of the countries I listed and still regularly spend time there.   So I'm keen to see any  "homogeneous" argument.

Some lines are clear; some lines are blurred; Tribal or ethnic identity is not easy to blur; People speaking the same language and having the same culture are much harder to divide. Of course you get a few exception to the rule like Somalia but generally division will follow clear lines of racial & ethnic divide.  As for democracy or freedom...nobody can quite tell the outcome of letting people free...but we know what a dictatorship breed.

Judiciary seem to be waking up from slumber and have locked up the serial hate speechers for 4 days
