Im sorry...I live in Canada where I believe most of us view ourselves as sort of a cultural 'mosaic'(sp?), which is to say, we can all live together, but at the same time we can each explore our own individuality and culture.

I visited Vancouver earlier this summer on vacation and one of our tour bus drivers said something along the lines of a cultural 'mosaic' as opposed to Americas melting pot.
In truth though, I don't think the melting pot really applies, and I think for the most part America has the same cultural mosiac deal as Canada.
America may have once prescribed to more of a melting pot thing, so many caucasians here with family going back a few generations are now distinctly 'American' - but still for the most part I think, now, America doesn't live up to the term melting pot that was once coined for it.
