Modern states are organized around the language and cultural norms of the
dominant group that have historically constituted them.
Liberal multiculturalism is about the reject of the ideal of the melting pot,
which claims that members of minority groups are expected to assimilate
into the dominant culture in favor of an ideal in which members of minority
groups can maintain their distinctive collective identities and practices. In the
case of immigrants, proponents emphasize that multiculturalism is
compatible with, not opposed to, the integration of immigrants into society;
multiculturalism policies provide fairer terms of integration for immigrants.
