This is a slightly different question in the US than in Europe, since the largest single ethnicity in the US is German-Americans, at only 17% of the population.  "Monoethnic" then can only mean "all-white" here, which adds unfortunate implications.  That said, white people, even of the liberal and "anti-racist" variety, tend to steer clear of "diverse" neighborhoods, so YMMV.

No. For example I have no racial prejudices, but I only find white women attractive. So I would like to live in a society in which everyone is white because I will find more women I'm attracted to.

Most spergin' post ever?

It's not inherently racist. However, it unavoidably leads to rampant xenophobia, and xenophobia oftentimes turns into racism.

I have only one word to you; Switzerland.

Explain, please. It's news to me that people in Switzerland desire to live in a mono-ethnic society. I mean, you know that this country has never been and can by definition never be "mono-ethnic", don't you?

Perhaps his point was that Switzerland is quite racist despite being multiethnic?
