New melting pot philosophy
• Original melting pot idea was to learn American culture and become homogeneous, deliberately losing your ethnic identity

• Prevailing view these days is multi-culturalism, which celebrates separate ethnic identities to the exclusion of assimilation: salad bowl metaphor

• New philosophy is in between: –Learn about the USA & celebrate your ethnic heritage –American first, treat all people equally regardless of where they’re from

• New Melting Pot emphasizes common ground and focus on building and crossing bridges, while Multi-culturalism emphasizes differences and builds walls between people groups.
