Yeah, what happened to the “melting pot”?

I can’t eat tacos, collard greens, pickled pig feet, goulash, etc.? or I be racist.

At the large aerospace company I worked for, we celebrated these holidays with potluck lunches: Black History Month, St. Patrick's Day, Easter, Cinco de Mayo, and Philippines Independence Day. Of course we celebrated our own Independence Day, along with Thanksgiving and Christmas.

We were a multiethnic workforce, and there was no racial tension. Everybody loved the potlucks which fostered a wonderful feeling of camaraderie.

Mr. Inspectorette and I retired in 2005, I don't know if this tradition is still active. I hope it is.
