- Multicultural is used often to refer to one or more particular minority racial/ethnic groups in the United States. For example, African Americans are viewed as a "multicultural population" as are Native, Hispanic, Asian, and Arab Americans. The reference is not to the various cultures existing within these broadly defined groups. The reference is to an entire minority group whose cultural identities are rooted largely in a non-European ancestry.
