Pot and American

term: In 1908 he foresaw an America as a place where all races and ethnicities melted happily into a harmonious whole, according to Huffington Post Canada. In his view, the melting pot of immigrants and their descendants were discouraged from maintaining close ties with their countries and cultures of origin and, instead, were urged to adopt the American way of life. The term is often associated with the words seen on some American coins,"e pluribus unum," the Latin term for, "Out of many, one." In fact, the term melting pot was popularized by American immigrant playwright Israel Zangwill. These days you don't hear a great deal of praise for the American melting pot. A frank look at the evolution of the race relations across America history throws the melting pot idea into question. Perhaps it because there is a growing realization amongst Americans that historically the melting pot was more virtual than real. (www.immigrantscanada.com). As reported in the news.
