Pluralism implies that all cultures and ethnic groups have an equal standing and opportunity to participate in society. However, in the United States, many racial and ethnic categories have historically faced discrimination and still do today, meaning they do not have equal social standing. While it is true that some people live in "ethnic enclaves" and many value ethnic diversity, these factors alone do not determine whether a society is truly pluralistic.
