General Science / Is there is a specific threshold proportion for a society to be multicultural?
« on: 29/12/2021 10:09:18 »
Dear friends,
Yesterday, my brother and I had a discussion about the multicultural status of a society.
The main question was if there is a specific quantitative threshold value for a society to be considered multicultural.
For example, in my country 40-50 years ago, few foreign people were living in. In the social dialogue, and in the parliament, of those times, there was not any mention to the term “multiculturalism”.
In recent years, in the social dialogue, the aforementioned term is being used more and more often.
My question is:
Do you have in mind any scientific evidences regarding the quantitative dimension of multiculturalism?
How much foreigners an ethnic society should have to be considered multicultural? What percentage?
Thank you in advance.
Postscript:
I have not studied political sciences; I apologize for any misusing of the terminology that I chose.
