Melting pot is best. I think of cheese when I hear melting pot. I like cheese, melted cheese, of all types. yumm 
Melting pot is not just becoming like "white" people, it's also "white" people becoming part of everything else, it goes both ways |
You might HATE it but it is the reality of things. Melting Pot assumes all groups assimilate and merge with one another. Worldwide, and not just behind the "Orange Curtain" but people do not mix well. Remember the old saying "if you want to work somewhere dress like they do for the interview." (Maybe its an east coast thing, I don't know.) People congregate with similar people.
Europe is proving, UK is proving that multiculturalism as a whole is a failure. Its not human nature. Its capitalism's dream but not humans. If you check demographic stats you will see most/many US neighborhoods are segregating all on their own.
Its not a race thing necessarily...it is a values thing.
Most of the actors under 30 SUCK in Hollywood. I'm surprised they can still manage to scrape together an Oscars or Golden Globes at all.
Check the hispanic vs the white vs the black birth rates in Southern California. There's the so-called melting pot.
