You can be multicultural but not multiracial. I'm a white male but from a different culture.

As an aside; is it racist to assume all white men have the same culture?

It's best to avoid casually throwing around the word 'racist', but I'd probably go with naive.

I do agree with you, but my point still stands - how would you, looking at the photo, know that this is multicultural? I have no idea. The woman may have a very similar culture as the men.

Multicultural here is misused as a thinly veiled term for 'there's one not-white person in this photo', like the way the term "diverse" is often a coded term for 'non-white'.

>how would you, looking at the photo, know that this is multicultural?

You could take it for face value and just assume they were talking about the food. It's also possible the "white people" are from a variety of the many diverse european cultures. Those both by definition are multicultural.

No its not, you are just focusing on the color of their skin and projecting a world view that is not built upon principle but instead identity politics. Try and change out "white people" in your argument for any large group of people who are of other skin colors and this becomes immediately apparent.
