re: Is America a melting pot or multicultural?

An example of this is how you tend to see "Asian" kids winning the national spelling bee competitions, and people openly question why you never see an American kid win it. The kids are often first generation Americans that were born here, yet their minority status leads people to believe that they are foreigners. If it were won by a kid born in Russia and raised in the US, you likely would never have someone make that assumption.
Most people I know think Asian-Americans are amazing additions to this country. They go to great lengths to get here and stay permanently. They cannot just run across the border and squat. They are proud to be here and are generally hard workers and take care of their families. I see hardly no xenophobia towards Asian-Americans and if you ask them they feel none. My opinion.

While I agree that things are easier for Asian families than other minority populations, there are still examples of biases towards them. Also, there are plenty of cities where they don't assimilate because they move to an area with a well established community (i.e. Chinatown).
