The good copy problem is when a person part of minority is encouraged to join and assimilate the culture and ways of majority groups. A good copy will never become like the real thing (majority group) therefore, it leaves a sense of inferiority and frustration for it is not fully accepted to the group they are trying to assimilate.
This problem wouldn't less likely occur in a multicultural oriented society because, as discussed in my group, there is still a sense of hierarchy dominating society therefore, minority groups will still have a feeling of inferiority. Even though, they're in a society where they can identify with their own culture, there are still certain sectors within society that is dominated by majority groups.
The good copy problem is motivating minority groups to put aside their ethnic culture and adapt to the culture of majority groups. For example, as Moghaddam explains "that it is assumed that when individuals start to see themselves as belonging to one national group, 'Americans', there will be greater in-group cohesion" (pg 283)
