• Ligne n°87 : For so long, Americans have called themselves members of a "Great Cultural Melting Pot," a place where all cultures are accepted and brought into the process of building a national identity that bears the markers of all those that constitute it. On the surface, this seems like an alright idea. But ultimately, this process of Americanization creates an ethnocentric worldview where a certain idea of what an American is and how an American acts becomes the norm, and in that way those that don't fit this view must try to conform to it. Americans look back at the early 20th century and view the influx of immigrants as a positive marker, but in doing so, people ignore the groups that weren't included (Asians, Eastern Europeans, etc.). If America had ever been a melting pot, why were their immigration quotas based on race and ethnicity for decades that existed unmolested for decades?
