Counterpoint: Demos and democracy were always about the formation of a heterogeneous “we.” Forging alliances with people who are different from yourself was the whole project.

Not convinced by this, what sort of examples are you thinking of? Seems to me it generally arose in relatively homogenous polities where division was more over wealth than identity.

Universal suffrage democracy requires electors with complex overlapping interests and a mix of competing identities. Multiculturalism doesn't necessarily promote or undermine this. There's no clear relationship between democracy and multiculturalism.

Bad things: crystallized collective identities; inter-group grievances; interests that align w simple group identities; an absence of cross-cutting interests or superordinate identities. Multiculturalism could exacerbate these things, but it doesn't have to.
