The “melting pot” works.
The “mosaic” can never work.

Yep. Mosaic countries all fail. Sometimes they spin apart violently. Sometimes they spin apart relatively peacefully. But spin apart they do. British India, the old Soviet Union, and Yugoslavia are all good examples of that.
The other day I got a bank notice. It was printed in like 20 different languages! So yeah, why bother assimilating when its so easy keeping yourself separate?
I was in grade school in the 60's when the 'mosaic' was introduced to replace the melting pot. I didn't understand it then, and I don't understand it now.
