As Thucydides mentioned it “the independent states survive only when they are powerful”. (Thucydides, 1972). Since realists look at the states as anarchic, they believe security is a main issue.

On the one hand I realize that the state is needed to provide support in many ways within a community, but the state siding with a majority culture can alienate those that are not a part of it, whether or not it is by choice. There needs to be a larger state-culture that is open and supportive of all sub-cultures of those who live in a society.
