Where are the horses and whips they had for the Haitians, should not allowed for any human, this is a melting pot.

This country is a melting pot of immigrants let um in....

Venezuelans have it rough in their country. Of course they would want to come here. A change of policy would make this country undesirable. It’s always been the melting pot of the world. We can’t put a hold on that now.

As an American I’m literally embarrassed of my country reading these comments. It’s so sad that a country depicted to be this melting pot of cultures has turned so corrupt. I’m sorry to all those in Canada who are gonna be screwed from the US’s clownery.

I think because America is such a big melting pot is the reason why we have these problems. If you made any other country as diverse as we are with a big concentration in small areas (like NYC) you do get big problems. It’s easy to say a country is safe when everyone is the same ethnicity, small population and same culture. \n\nIf you leave the big cities in America you do get the safe aspect. Some areas even near NYC i leave my car open with my wallet out and keys in the ignition. \n\nI think it’s also unfair considering we are number one in immigration and have all sorts of people trying to get here. If any other country was like us in that regard they would not be able to handle it.

welcome to the melting pot where everyone in the pots is separated like oil and water. sure we are all here, but we tend not to mix or if we do it is through a bunch of rigorous effort to try to mix and when it settles we just go back to what it was before. SO sad for sure.. definitely wish that was not the case and only the food areas were the separation for if you want greek, italian, indian, mexican, puerto rican. chinese, japanese, soul food etc. Coming from chicago I get to see all the different food styles and places but again it is so true that things are way different from canada to here. Maybe in like 10 years some things will change, but as we all know change takes time.. and time is something we don't have much of so enjoy it and hopefully when I go see my buddy in canada I will get to see the differences you all are talking about. cheers gents.

People say America is a melting pot, but it more like multiple frying pans on 1 stove ???‍♀️

Yeah. The “melting pot” is more of a dumpster fire.

OK OK Im from NY but I have been all over the world. Best women = Turkey !00% even the grandmothers can get it. Canada has it going on the women are fire great looks and personality less cheating bone but not much diversity of fine women. mostly native and white.and a mix of the 2. NY is a melting pot has some of the best women in the world from all races .Yo will see some FAT in usa but there is perfection too. Depends what you like you like thick volleyball chick got to Wisconsin OMG something in the water.

My family moved to a suburb of Atlanta 15 years ago from LaSalle, QC. I am happy to be away from the language politics and snow, but the living areas here are so segregated. They call the US a melting pot, but from my perspective the individual parts aren't blending together. I was so used to seeing Italian, African, Irish, Indian, Caribbean, Native, Asian, Middle Eastern, you name it peoples everyday at work, shopping and at the gym. Based on where I live, I really only see African Americans. The funny thing is, if I travel just a few miles in a specific direction, the demographics change dramatically.

NYC has clean tap water. Problem is the pipes in your building might be from the 1800s. But the segregation is dead right. I remember being a kid (20+ years ago) walking through Queens and I'm in a neighborhood that's lauded for being the biggest melting pot. But these MFs were racist towards black people. Hell every neighborhood that wasn't predominantly black, didn't want blacks in it. I traveled all over the city and had to deal with that. Even in the Heights where most Dominicans are my complexion. Let them find out I'm not Dominican too...\n\nI found this to be true in most places I've been to in America. Hell in Florida, Jacksonville area I've seen people driving around with nooses hanging from their rear view mirrors.

For the last part about the racial groups keeping to themselves, America isn't really a melting pot. It is more of a salad. We are all in the bowl together but you can tell what each part of that salad is.

I’m a dual citizen of US and Canada. For me a big cultural difference is that Americans are raised thinking they’re the greatest country in the world and Canadians take pride in being peacekeepers and our multicultural mosaic (rather than melting pot).

I am from the US and am ashamed at my country’s racism. My family has always taught me as a very very young child that my country was new and made up of people of every country...a melting pot. As my parents taught me I also taught my daughter. It wasn’t until she reached high school that racism was really addressed at my home. In her sophomore year she came home extremely distressed over a discussion at her lunch table. Mind you she had been with the same group of girls since kindergarten. The subject came up about a new girl in school, from another country... Africa. She was so distressed about the conversation before the end of day she spoke to a teacher about it...her math and track coach. I was incredibly proud of her! To this day I can’t thank my parents enough for instilling in me what I needed to live free. To this day my daughter 17 years later has the pleasure of that young girl from Africa as a part of her extended family. We know what we are taught and ignorance has no place in or society today. I also grew up in Chester, PA where Dr Martin Luther King Went to school or a time, my parents were so proud of that.

Subconscious minds? What are you saying exactly by saying that? You are funneling an idea, a theory. Canada is a very new country that comes from an era that you can't compare to no other example. Furthermore we are a cultural mosaic compared to a melting pot. Your summing up an idea really has no majority conclusion. People in Canada aren't compartmentlized so easily into the profile you are trying to invoke. Stop trying to make it that. Your funneling a thought theory.

Let's face the reality. Discrimination is a fact of life whether it's legal or not. But it's not all about race. Anyone can be discriminated against because of the way they look, act, dress, even the way they walk and talk. You can have two people from the same ethnic group and they can have a totally different experience. For me, it's mostly positive. Not only it's positive, I felt I have an upper hand because of my race. If people like you, they will be color blind. If they don't, it doesn't matter what race you are. So please stop this type of racial dividing message. What you should promote is property etiquette in different cultures and help people become part of the melting pot and understand each other better so we can all get along.

Yall understand a narrative, but you lack basic biological/genetic science, or even unguided common sense; All races are more comfortable with their own because they know them better when they are the same culture, background, and ethnicity. Its basic to see this, only you brainwashed masses in all these white countries think its all about making this melting pot mix, but you fail to see the different viscosities wont mix, unless they all dillute into the catalysts, which diversity is only haapening in white societies, honestly, but then what does that make you?

Hate, that is all that is coming from the anti immigration lobby. They hate the Latinos because they represent the ancestors that were the real founders of America, the Native Americans. They were the Mayans, Incas, Aztecs, and North American Tribes. The truth is those who label themselves as 'real Americans' just live in fear and denial of the basic fact that their European ancestors murdered and pillaged these people into poverty. Their gold stolen, land invaded, and women raped; the three main talking points that are used against these people just wanting a better life. America is a melting pot, get over it because this hate is just the pot calling the kettle black; hypocrisy at its finest.

This guy spent all this time in America and he can’t speak English? America is the worlds melting pot we welcome immigrants that want to be AMERICANS! Not people that want to turn my country into something other then it is.
