Multiculturalism = Different cultures live together without discrimination. (Hungary is mainly
monocultural except for a few cities, such as Budapest). The UK consists of 4 countries (England, Scotland,
Wales, and Northern Ireland) so they have no chance but to be multicultural. The Brits are generally
accepting, although xenophobia is present. They are becoming an increasingly multicultural society.
