America is becoming increasingly diverse but that doesn't mean its inhabitants are going to divide into armies and start killing each other. The UK, which is far more diverse in terms of the ethnic backgrounds and religious beliefs of it's denizens, has managed not have a civil war. Also, the process of becoming 'multi-cultural' happened a hell of a lot more suddenly here, what with the collapse of the empire, the importation of colonial labour after WWII, then not long afterwards the construction of the EU and so on.

I think all that's likely to happen in the US is this: there'll be a more and more emphasis placed on moderate values, a toning down of extreme points of view and a general growth in public awareness.
