With the increasing ethnic and religious diversity of many Western countries, ethnic tensions and the curse of identity politics are on the rise from Minneapolis to Milan.

Feels like a rather broadstroke for the half-a-dozen or so conflicts mentioned. I'm not thay informed about all of them, but I was pretty sure at least one of the big ones now (Iran) is more economic than ethnic. Maybe the argument is just about the West, but even still, it feels pretty general.

more economic than ethnic

I think that's partly his claim too, which is that the economic issues are driving a wedge between ethnicities and fomenting identity politics
