THIS IS A FORUM WHERE PEOPLES OF DIVERSE CULTURES AND RACE, COMMING FROM ALL WALKS OF LIFE, CAN MEET TO RUB HEARTS AND MIND WITH MUTUAL RESPECT FOR ONE ANOTHER. NEEDLESS TO SAY THAT RACISTS AREN'T WELCOME HERE...
PS: THIS IS NOT A DATING SITE!
The melting pot is a metaphor for the way in which homogeneous societies develop, in which the ingredients in the pot (people of different cultures and religions) are combined so as to lose their discrete identities to some degree, yielding a final product which has a more uniform consistency and flavor, and which is quite different from the original inputs.
This process is sometimes equated with cultural assimilation, but both are not necessarily the same; the 'melting' metaphor implies both a melting of cultures & intermarriage of ethnicities, while cultural assimilation often occurs without intermarriage.
