As a Canadian, I learned about the American melting pot as "drop your culture and adopt ours" in contrast to the Canadian multiculturalism.
The melting pot makes non-white people idealize white people, which is hard to imagine as anything but a top down imposition of standards
- blaser-waffle 6y agoI'm an American in Canada and this is bunk. "I learned about" translates to "I've never spent any time below the border". It's literally 99% American culture here. There isn't any "love and tolerance" that you couldn't find in any Blue State, and most of hard left types take their cues from what they see in the US; e.g. the prevalence of BLM wankery despite the fact they're in a different country with wildly different histories regarding slaves. The only things you can't find in the US are Nanaimo bars and banknotes with the Queen's face on them.
