The good copy problem occurs when a society successfully assimilates a group of people into a new culture. However the group is not accepted as a full member of society, rather a good copy of the ideal in society. For example, Indigenous peoples of western colonial lands. People from the lands of India, Pakistan, Algeria, etc who live in Europe have been successful assimilated into European culture. These people have lived in Britain or France for multiple generations, they have adopted the language (English/French, Perhaps even as mother tongue), they have adopted the culture and they have integrated in the society. However, these people are still viewed as originally from colonial lands because of how they look, sound, dress etc. Because of their obvious racial/ethnic differences these people are not viewed as full members of European society.
This problem can be more easily avoided in a multicultural society as it is not a easy to discern what race defines the region/society. For example, in Toronto Asian peoples are readily accepted and integrated into society by others because of the large number of different ethnic groups which live in Toronto. It is not abnormal to see an Asian person, on the contrary, there may be equal numbers of people from Asian descent and European descent living in the same area. However, in other regions of Canada with less diversity, it is more easily to single out an Asian person as they can easily be seen as abnormal.
This mean that an increase in multiculturalism, increases the predominance of ethnic minorities. Thus these minorities are no longer viewed as as foreign because they are no longer minorities.
