We are a melting pot because for the most part those ethnic areas don't exist anymore. There are exceptions like KoreaTown in LA. What broke up the ethic enclaves was the interstate highway system and the creation of the suburb.We were never a “melting pot” where everyone spoke English and melted into society.
Our cities were segregated.....Little Italy, China Town, German Town...each ethnic group kept their same communities and spoke the old language and old customs.
It was the second generation that integrated....just like today
