I wonder what would you say when your home will be destroyed by aliens or robots. Yeah, let's embrace unity! Let's embrace diversity! When your home is burning...

Don't be ridiculous. Any new culture should be viewed critically until their intentions become apparent, that however does not give us carte blanche to destroy them outright (if indeed we even could).

Regarding alien contact;
1) Assume an intelligence at least equal to your own (most likely far higher if they were the ones to visit us).
2) Assume they are the apex lifeform on their own planet (in the same way as we are the dominant species on Earth) and therefore are the apex predator from their world.
3) Assume they are applying rules 1 and 2 to you at the same time.

As Grunt says "Offer one hand but arm the other".

Indeed. Be friendly if they're friendly, and throw the nukes at them if they're not.

You forgot 4) Never trust something entirely different from you. That means we should always be ahead of any alien form of life, strive to be better than them and make sure your race would advance. Straight out war is bad. Achieving dominance in the Galaxy later through using our potential is good.

Javik? Is that you? Are you trying to rebuild that lovely homogenised Prothean Empire again?
Oh you....
But seriously if you believe that everything different to you must submit to your ideals or be wiped out then I pity you.
Without diversity there can be no creativity, innovation, etc etc. You get cultural stagnation and to me THAT is an abomination.

Javik was wrong, because, indeed, his race was homogenised in addition to their "Empire". Unlike Protheans, Humanity does not need other species to be diverse, we are already genetically and culturally diversed enough to include animals into our society. Our genetic diversity, our multi-nation system is what makes as not equal, but superior to others. To the point where Reapers themselves see us as a worthy opponent, as a master race...

Except we are extremely non-diverse due to genetic consequences that's why inbreeding is so much worse for humans than most animals. But I guess you knew that.

Ok then lets posit that we encountered an alien species with exactly the same societal characteristics you have just described....they too would be a 'master' race by your logic and therefore we would not be superior. But frankly your argument is very reminiscent of the idea of the Aryan 'race' being superior to all others and therefore should be free to dominate other human races.

Different =/= wrong. Though I very much doubt anything will assuage you from your meglomanical views.
