Our country has lost some of its regional quirks. I guess it's the internet/social media and the speed at which information and advertising is shared but people pretty much dress and speak the same (making allowances for climate differences) all across the country.

I learned it thru Schoolhouse Rock on Saturday mornings back in the 70's. I was completely oblivious at the time, being 10 yrs old or less, that it was all part of the liberal agenda even back then.

The “melting pot” or “mosaic” has been far more successful than not. Some posters just can not or will not acknowledge it.
It's success has waned over the last 5 decades due to the Immigration and Nationality Act of 1965 (Hart-Celler Act) forced on the US by Ted Kennedy and his lapdog MSM. The slide started immediately after.

The counter-argument term I remember hearing was "tossed salad". The argument being that immigrants don't really assimilate but rather all share a new common "salad dressing" in the form of some new language and customs while maintaining strong differences as the bulk of their old unique heritage.

It might be a melting pot in the south but it is definitely not in the northeast.

And they never thought it would be ok, quite the opposite.

We've always been a melting pot of different white cultures.
People then ran with it to mean the entire globe.
Same with religious freedom, yeah for different Christians. Not the hoards of Muslims that have taken over Christian nations for centuries.

Majority of current immigrants, even legal, don't really assimilate. "Melting Pot" was coined in relation to assimilation and adding a little culture to Americana.
Now every immigrant wants to retain their culture while feeding at the American trough. Speaking or learning English as a first language should be mandatory. I don't care what you speak in your home but out and about should be English only.

The term wasn't invented by a jew.
Some of you are actually retarded.

Retarded is actually typing that response to someone that never said he invented “the term”. No?

Melting pot means you assimilate though, not what the dims spew today.
Bingo! Let’s not eschew the term “melting pot”. That’s what America should be. Our problem is that we were bringing them in too fast to melt, and some were made of an alloy that doesn’t melt (Islam).

Not sure, but he Somalis all over Minnesota missed the messaging entirely.
