P.199 The United States: Melting Pot or Salad Bowl? The United States counts its population every 10 years, and each census reveals that the racial and ethnic is changing dramatically. By the year 2050, the “average” person is United States will not be descended from Europeans. However, the majority of U.S residents will trace their ancestry to Africa, Asia, the Hispanic world, the Pacific Islands, or the Middle East. Once the United States was a microcosm of European nationalities. Today the United States is a microcosm of the world. The United States is no longer considered a “melting pot” society by many of its residents. Instead, many people prefer the term “salad bowl” to describe U.S. society. They will soon be predominantly nonwhite. “Melting pot” implies that the different ethic groups blend together into one homogeneous mixture, whereas “salad bowl” implies that nationalities. For example, the ingredients in a mixed green salad, retain their cultural identities. Earlier generations of immigrants believed that they had a learn English quickly not only to survive but also for success. Now, many immigrant groups do not feel the same need. There are many places in the United States where you can work, shop, get medical care, marry, divorce, and die without knowing English. For example, Chinatown in San Francisco, New York, and Los Angeles has many Vietnamese, Mexican immigrants. Many Hispanics, for instance, want their children to learn both English and Spanish language in school. They are fighting for the right to bilingual education in many communities that they are in the majority.
