• The state of California is a multicultural community because European, African and Asian peoples have been moving into the state for the last 200 years. It is this mix of peoples with their own customs, culture and food that have given California its multicultural flavour. Problems that might arise include intercultural rivalry or competition, discrimination or misunderstanding. It is to the credit of Californians that such problems do not arise very often.
