Salad Bowl is a better term.
Melting pot implies that you add different ingredients that become ONE entity at the end that is comprised of all of them. This is clearly not what America is, as we have many distinct racial, ethinic, religious groups in this country that are very different than each other.
Read Reinventing the Melting Pot, it's good. One guy uses the term "alloy", like metal alloy, as a metaphor. I think thats a good explanation.
