Are we an ethnomonolith or we a diverse group of people for whom some are good and some are bad?

I think we're a diverse group of people in terms of politics, economics, education, good and bad. But I still see some reluctance to be individuals among us. I believe we can and should come together on certain issues, but we should not be an ethnomonolith.
