No Cobraboy, you are mistaken. The melting pot was never about peace and harmony, it was about control. Let me enlighten you on American history. Historically, Whites in America have done everything in their power to keep their country White, or as White as possible. Early in America's history, Whites were alarmed at the possibility of a combined Native American/Black revolt in which they would be crushed. To ensure this didn't happen, Whites did a few things. First, they created an immigration policy where they accepted mass immigration from Europe. This occurred during the 19th century. Second, Whites in America restricted immigration from non-Europeans, and ended the slave trade.
Third, Whites played Native Americans against Blacks, encouraging Native Americans to own slaves, which many did. As I've said before, the richest and most powerful White families in America do not participate in the melting pot. They do not marry outside their race or social circle. That practice is reserved for non-Whites and lower class Whites. By the way, a book I read on the DR has recently revealed that, since the 1980s, the U.S. has been restricting the immigration of Dominicans into the USA as well. That was just something I thought I'd throw in.
