Liberal Multiculturalism.

The empirical fact of diversity it’s the definition of multicultural.


The normative response to that fact is the multiculturalism.

Liberal multiculturalism is an extension of the human rights and the conquest


of the classical liberal revolutions, it’s a series of ethnic particularisms.

Most of the constitutional texts pick up an accidental view of the human


rights, but also preserve the possibility that the minority groups keep their
identity, autonomy and normative.

The idea of multiculturalism in contemporary politics discourse is about how


to understand and response to the challenges associated with cultural and
religious diversity.
It’s often used as a descriptive term to characterize the fact of diversity in a
society.

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.

Liberal multiculturalism follows the idea of accepting the minority groups


into the whole society but with them keeping their own culture.
