No, it doesn’t, and that makes no sense. The melting pot idea means that everyone works toward a cohesive national identity and recognizes contributions from everyone. It doesn’t mean that every group should be separate and excluded from each other.
- imbnwa 5y agoSeparate and excluded? Bruh, they're not requiring photo identification on sign-up as proof of Blackness, LMAO, lotta people in this thread are reaching for them grapes. I hope you sign-up, maybe you'll like some of the content. Lemme ask you another question since we're asking silly questions: should Telemundo and Univision be illegal to broadcast in the US because its not in English (cohesive national identity, right?)? Cause that's what you sound like.
- disneygibson 5y agoWho said anything about it being illegal? You are being sarcastic and not engaging in good faith.
- imbnwa 5y ago> Who said anything about it being illegal? Sure, lets deescalate: are their broadcasting in America and commensurate content choices discriminatory or working against a cohesive national identity? > You are being sarcastic and not engaging in good faith. But I find the last bit ironic
- disneygibson 5y agoThis is HN, not Reddit. Snarky one liners aren’t welcome here. In response to your question, yes I would hope that as Latinos continue to become a larger portion of the population, they join the overall “American” culture and influence it. Not remain as a separate group with a separate language and separate media. If you look at the statistics, this already happens. Second and third generation Latinos identify more as American than as Latino.
