The Great Melting Pot of America is one of my favorite things about. So many people from so many other cultures coming together to make a new culture.


Huh? You make it sound like no other country embraces multiculturalism.

I'm not sure how anyone could possibly interpret what he said the way you interpreted it.

You're right. Melting pot theory is a LOT more intolerable towards different cultures when compared to multiculturalism.

I disagree.  It's impossible to have multiculturalism without some degree of melting together taking place. 

It's pre-1970 attitudes like that that encourages intolerance for cultural difference from both sides. As such, you'll notice that the "melting pot" theory has been scrapped in favour of "salad bowl". I encourage you to research the benfits of the latter over the former, and see the many examples where it has been a tremendous success. (Toronto, Melbourne, etc.)
