What do you think and why do you think that way?

No. It's not.
The cultural differences have always devleloped and will always develop at a different pace and in different directions.
There will always be pride in production, virtue or something from some and jealousy and animosity from others. Some will use either as a bludgeon.

When solving problems, it's helpful to have different perspectives.

And the competitiveness promotes accelerated advancements.
Conversely there are cultures that disrupt progress and intentionally damage advancements.
When it comes to my hometown I don't need to see growth. Growth takes away from safety and wholesomeness.

Well said.
Thanks for the link to the second video, it gives me chills.
Diversity works when people cooperate and work for common, agreed upon goals.

Europe is bonded, very heavily within Europeans. The invasions, the intermarrying of royalty, the colonization and competition, the unification under the church. The Steppes were the home to other White races. Those people were the first to domesticate horses. They're the reason the Chinese built the first wall (prior to the Great Wall). Their mummies are found in China. North Africa, Southern Spain, Greece, Rome, Egypt aren't that far removed from one another. The truth lies in the skull and nasal structure of all people. Proto-European, Indo-European. Terms for me to study.
Farther East Asians are another group. The sub-Saharan Africans are another.
Cultures are vastly different within the regions.[This message has been edited by sourmash (edited 12-22-2020).]

America has been described as a "melting pot".
Is that still, or was that ever, an accurate description of this country.

I wonder what it meant 150 years ago? Even in 1924 or so the law of the land was that you got immediate citizenship if you were a free White person (OF GOOD MORAL CHARACTER--added). Everyone else had to be allowed in under a limited lottery system. The melting pot was 85% White until what, the 1970s? Sounds like most of the melting was of European people. We weren't a global racial melting pot so much-added.
The SCOTUS declared in 1924 that Indians from India were Caucasian but were not White and had to be limited to the lottery system. America has a declared history that isn't taught anymore-added.[This message has been edited by sourmash (edited 12-22-2020).]

Was it propaganda that we were indoctrinated with as children?
Does it seem like the stew is trying to melt the pot?
