IMAO multicultural countries are those that have several cultures living together without influence each other.
Canada is more multicultural than the USA because it has different official languages in different cities.

IMAO Russia is the truly multicultural country.
I see where you all are coming from now and I can see how you can make a distinction between what we have here in the USA and countries like Russia. Though in the case of countries that fit your definition of Multicult not everyone can participate in the diversity it seems. In my view my culture is Multi because it contains and incorporates elements that are not home grown, connecting those who come here into the overarching cultural sphere as well as adding some of their culture into the main system. But again that could be better described as Assimilatory .Though we do not have an official secondary language there are places you can go in which only one language in spoken. I know of several churches in which the service is done entirely in Spanish.
