States favor cultural separatism claims over redistributive injustice claims in multiculturalism.

Evidence

In Britain, the anti-racist basis to multiculturalism (responding to specific group claims of injustice) lost ground as the state became willing to respond more to cultural demands for separate spaces than to demands that required redistribution. In France, the French government concurred with the creation of the French Muslim Council, made up of representatives of mosques: the larger the mosque (measured in square footage), the greater the number of representatives, a regulation that facilitated the domination of mosques funded by the Gulf states. — Sherene Razack, Casting Out, 391
