The text is focused on Alfonso Reyes’s statement on the race question and racial prejuidice. In Hispanic America, people from different worlds, with habits and traditions that diverge, coexist. This fact does not consitute an obstacle, on the contrary, the multicultural society is considered by Alfonso Reyes to be fundamental for the cultural identity of the area. Hispanic America, in comparison with other parts of the world, adopted a more tolerant approach to the diverseness. Their knowledge based on hundreds of years of experience with cultural diversity can be a valuable source of inspiration for the European culture that felt into crisis in the twentieth century.

The article explores Pedro Henríquez Ureña’s concept of the language situation in Hispanic America. Although many different cultures with diverse language heritages coexist in this region, Spanish should not be seen as an instrument of European colonisation and of the destruction of the original culture. On the contrary, the specific elements of each community are reflected in the local Spanish variants. The use of Spanish language does not force Hispanic American nations to lose their unique identity, but it gives them the power of being understood by a significant part of the world and profit from the legacy of the family of Romance languages.
