Define ethnic pluralism, and contrast it with assimilation
What will be an ideal response?
Instead of complete assimilation, many groups share elements of the mainstream
culture while remaining culturally distinct from both the dominant group and other social
and ethnic groups. Ethnic pluralism is the coexistence of a variety of distinct racial and
ethnic groups within one society. Equalitarian pluralism or accommodation is a situation
in which ethnic groups coexist in equality with one another. Switzerland has been
described as a model. Inequalitarian pluralism or segregation exists when specific
groups are set apart from the dominant group and have unequal access to power and
privilege. Segregation is the spatial and social separation of categories of people by
race, ethnicity, class, gender, and/or religion.
