澳門與臺灣都是多元族群組合而成的移民社會，兩者情況相近，卻有不同的族群意識 相處結果。不論在澳葡時期還是回歸之後，澳門都沒有出現嚴重的族群衝突，這與臺灣的激烈情 況大有不同。通過比較澳門與臺灣的社會結構、族群意識等方面，可知澳門殖民與華人文化雙軌 並行，移民人口順應了社會經濟的發展，族群差異並未上升至政治層面，因此族群之間較為和 諧。臺灣需把引致族群衝突的歷史真相還原，亦應建立一套共有的認同意識，以解決當前存在的族群問題。

Though Macau and Taiwan are both multi-ethnic societies constructed of immigrants, which share a lot in common, the outcome of the ethnic consciousness seems to be quite different. There were no serious inter-ethnic conflicts either before and after Macau was returned to China, however, this was not the case for Taiwan, where serious conflicts took place. Through comparing aspects such as the social structure and ethnic consciousness in Taiwan and Macau, it is discovered that Macau promoted both its colonial and Chinese culture, and that the immigrants accepted the socio-economic developments in Macau, the ethnic differences did not elevate to the political level, resulting in a more harmonious inter-ethnic relation. The case of Macau implies that Taiwan needs to unravel the historical ties which led to the inter-ethnic conflicts and establish a common understanding between ethnic groups, so that its ethnic problem can be resolved.
