One of the most popular German supermarkets "EDEKA" temporarily cleared its shelves off by removing all the non-German products in a stunt move to make a powerful statement against racism and to show the importance of diversity. Although there clearly is a difference between imported goods and diversity?, this was just an analogy to help understand the importance of diversity in a society, which contributes more than it takes away from said society.?

There is an opposing view to this, of course. It is that simply comparing goods with human beings is not a good idea. One could argue that in the same way that foreign goods have taken the place of local goods on the shelves in the supermarket, foreign populations could take the place of locals. In the same way that foreign products have ruined local businesses because of their cheap price, immigrants could take the jobs of local people because they accept lower wages and to work more hours.

It's a long and complicated discussion with no clear answers. Which view do you tend to gravitate towards?
