Multiculture can operate where ethnic difference escapes normative supervision.
Evidence
In sum, this article mapped a framework of multiculture which is strongly decoupled from any residual attachment to the normative ideals of integration and communitarian belonging. It was shown that certain public formations, be they the impoverished estate square or certain consumer suburban fields, are located in wider interactional circuits that are distinctly post-communitarian in character. Of decisive analytic importance here was the identification of a unique multicultural principle where markers of racialized ethnic difference, as opposed to requiring recognition and/or dissipation, cease to be objects of normative supervision in the first place. — Sivamohan Valluvan, Conviviality and Multiculture, 78
