Put the two underlined words together: disparate cultures - different cultures - multi cultural
Definition of disparate: essentially different in kind; not allowing comparison.

I'm not weasling out of anything, I'm contributing.
perhaps some others reading this thread will appreciate my contributions to the thread.
Here's more on when the shift in embracing theories happened:
"Some Western countries such as the United States had more of a melting pot mentality about diversity before changing to a more multicultural policy by the 1980s. Many factors lead to changes in decisions about whether to back the melting pot approach or the multicultural aspect. Tensions between dominant and other cultures and questions about what constitutes equality are common motivators to rethink a society?s position on cultural diversity."
