It was more a melting pot when immigrants were more alike What we have now is a regression into the lowest forms of pagan tribalism. People defending members of their "tribe" no matter what, while trying to destroy members of other tribes no matter what.

Other microaggressions on the list include asking Where are you from, Where were you born, I believe the most qualified person should get the job, and Everyone can succeed in this society, if they work hard enough. DANG!

It’s about removing the idea of “individual” from everything.

I can’t say that America is a melting pot? Can I say that academia is a Leftist chamber pot?

It’s not a melting pot anymore.
It’s more of a Stew Pot.

The document claims that saying America is a melting pot is like saying minorities have to assimilate/acculturate to the dominant culture and saying Everyone can succeed in this society, if they work hard enough is like saying People of color are lazy and / or incompetent and need to work harder. No, it's called "projection" with a side order of blame shifting. It's an admission by lazy, incompetent people who happen to be colored that they are indeed lazy and incompetent and are unwilling to work harder to overcome their own habit, that's all.

A list of microaggressions is a microaggression.

Is “jellybean” jar okay? It was taught for a while, until the whole Texaco thing.

I’m thinking of using the “black and white cookie” theory.
It might not be a good theory, but the cookie is delicious until you get sick.
To: Larry Lucido
My first time to hear we were no longer a melting pot was in 1960 in a college classroom. We are now a salad, wherein each
part has its own identity but combines into a tasty whole.
Somehow, the items in the salad all want to be #1 and don’t really appreciate the overwhelming impact of any other item.

“Stew pot”, “Oreo” (black and white cookie), “Marble Cake” - all are pretty much the same. They describe no “assimilation” - they try to capture the idea of “acculturation” instead.
I still believe that people who come here (even illegally) will eventually become part of the fabric of what we once knew to be America.
There will always be a ghetto. In America, it is (and will be for a VERY long time) populated by Blacks.
To me, a lot of it depends on two things:
1. Why the muslims are here? It is likely that THEIR agenda is different. Many believe they are an occupying advance force.
and,
2. Will the government continue to preserve poverty through socialism; what they call a “War on Poverty” (”income redistribution”, “income equality”, Obamacare... and more - all are socialism)?
These are some of my opinions.
