Melting Pot.
It works.
But it takes time. There was plenty of racial and ethnic tension and hatred when previous diverse cultures such as Irish, Italians and Chinese came into the US. People don't just arrive and become Americans overnight, whatever it says on their papers.
Sure, it takes time. If you don't let it work, it takes eternity.
Yeah …
The Colonial era immigrants from Europe did not bother to integrate with the native Americas who were there, instead they killed and displaced most of the native Americans, so that’s one example of not letting it work.
The slaver importers and slave owners also largely worked hard at segregating the imported slave immigrants, that’s also an example of not letting it work.
Most other immigrants who did not attempt to kill or displace the natives en mass and are not being prevented from integration by the then-dominant natives mostly “let it work” and progressing towards “melting pot” integration just fine.
