The melting pot

America is the most diverse country on the planet. America has been known as a "melting pot" because it is a blend of many different cultures all in one place. America is good about this in that we have integrated every race into our public school system, we also represent all these minorities with large organizations and other things. So, overall america is a good melting pot because for the most part we are open to new cultures, we even have Cinco de Mayo, which is not even technically an american based holiday, as well as saint patricks day. Although, in some way america is not open to all these new cultures. We are very stingent about illegal immigration, expecially from mexico, but, they are coming into our country illegally and spending our tax money. Also, we have still not given the native americans true equal treatment, as well as that even though for the most part the civil rights movement is over, they are still racist acts happening in america. Some of the racist acts however are not just from whites, but blacks are doing racist things as well. So there are problems all around with people conflicting with different cultures, but, america is still the best country on the planet and i love america.
