An omitted final remark: Even if pluralism, in some societies, tolerates groups  not of equal status, that shows the connection between pluralism and toleration, not the reverse. So even given Doug's historical point, one can readily say pluralism and toleration not only coexist, but in those societies where pluralism and equality reign, toleration is required. In the United States where arguably equality is a potent force in constitutionality morality, we are pluralist and this together with our commitment to equality requires encouraging toleration.
