Canadians smugly sneer that our multicuturalism, diversity (new buzz word)
mosaic (remember that word from the past)or
"community of communities" (Joe Clark - laughable today)
is better than the USA melting pot
theory is one thing
in reality even in canada there is a melting pot
children of immigrants ultimately do NOT read and write their parents' languages after two if not one generation
the fire of the melting pot is too strong
integrate and assimilate or become second class forever
