Lol, no. Most countries in Africa and Asia are divided as fuck. They're usually former colonies whose borders have no respect for traditional ethnic groups.And it seems like every country in the world outside of the West has that. And it seems that the West has forgotten that not having that is not normal.
See a place like Iraq, they may all look the same, in comparison to the USA where the division is physically obvious(black vs white vs mestizo) but the different groups hate each other. It's Shia Arabs vs Sunni Arabs vs Sunni Kurds vs Christian Arabs vs Yezidi Kurds. And they actually kill each other in large scale.
Basically every muslim country that has more than one sect has some kind of low level insurgency or civil war.
African countries may be even worse, remember when the Hutus were killing the Tutsis in Rwanda? Or Boko Haram killing Christians? Or you take a country like South Africa, the blacks hate the whites there, but they hate other black tribes just as much.
American countries(as in the continent) are actually pretty good at coexisting with multiple races and religions.
Now, of course, having homogeneity is excellent as it makes a country more united and some problems just don't exist. The Japanese do not need to debate whether affirmative action is good or bad, they do not need to fight on the streets about what statues are right or wrong, they have no trouble spotting possible islamist terrorists in their midst, crime is almost non-existent and people are extremely helpful to each other as there is little distrust.
