It's not neccesarily a social melting pot but American society does not occur in a vaccum.

 I'm glad you concluded with this b/c I was about to ask if you were serious in confessing your taste in food and clothing. Melting pot isn't about "liking" anyone or even about cultural influence. Sure, there are Mexicans working at On The Border and I drink Chai Tea almost everyday but who cares? These groups are still identifiable as distinct racial and ethnic entities, and often subjected to inequality under a privileged race and class system, so the U.S. is more of a "salad bowl" than a "melting pot."
My jogging pants were made in China, in case anyone cares.

When a person speaks of the term or phrase "melting pot", they are only speaking of the cultrually mixed affect of the "melting pot". Discussions about this "pot" are not usually the foundation of the socio-econ-political strata and state of being in our country. Nonetheless, we have to with lucid clarity, acknowledge that the "melting pot" exist. This issue of existence,sub-existences, priviledge, and what not, is a whole other discussion.

When one has a melting pot, one usually has SLUDGE on the bottom of it.
