Cultural mosaic

Cultural mosaic (French: "la mosaïque culturelle") is a metaphor for a society composed of diverse ethnic, linguistic, and cultural groups that are encouraged to maintain their unique identities while coexisting. The idea of a cultural mosaic is intended to suggest a form of multiculturalism as seen in Canada, that differs from other systems such as the melting pot, which is often used to describe nations like the United States' assimilation.
