Multiculturalism as a phenomenon emerged before the very concept, which with great delay became an integral part of the vocabulary of social sciences. For many communities, especially cities, and small states, were a historical mosaic of the population and centuries examples of multiculturalism, and not the identities of a culturally uniform community, who searches for identity for his origin in phantom historical roots. Even today, the multiethnic nations, confronted with the mythologized "national race" that nowhere exists, there is no other way of coexistence, except for mutual recognition and support of otherness, which is not assimilation. This makes it impossible for multiculturalism to slip into a simple collection of identity, without creative charge. People learn to respect differences and lives, which is multiethnic everywhere. His virtue is tolerance, which in the other man recognizes man and accepts diversity and otherness as the basic value, resisting hatred and destruction. Therefore, insisting on a "pure" national identity, behind which is economic interests and a tendency for domination, leads to a divided identity, a torn society, and its cultural schizophrenia endangers the very foundations of the state. Multicultural "hybrid" societies, are still the most developed societies guiding in the global world. Multiculturalism is much older than nationalism. Is by no means dead. On the contrary.
