Why does the United States describe itself as "melting pot" while Canada describes itself as "multicultural" when it's really the other way around?

>live in Canada
>hardly any culture to speak of
>everyone is basically the same regardless of genes
>go to US
>whites, spics, and black all hate each other and have their own cultures
>>

Probably a historical carry over. More modern historians tend to describe the US as a salad bowl.

WHAT COOKING INSTRUMENT IS US CULTURE GUYS? MAKE UP YOUR MINDS

>somebody from Alberta turns left in the inner lane

Fuck off.

You're horrible people overall and you pretend like you're better by default.

Go the fuck, away.
>>
>My personal experience represents how it is all across the county


I live in a Ukrainian area and Ukrainian heritage/culture dominates here. There are also some pockets of French heritagefags who contribute a bit of their culture too. Maybe it's just because I live in a rural areas and rural folk are more cultural than boring cityfags, idk

White America is a melting pot. Dindus are just especially stubborn.

>>55975475
The US is a sandwich. All the minorities are the ingredients. Whites are the bread.

Nobody who's lived in either ever made that comparison.

because apparently nobody knows what a melting pot is
hint: it's not what you put your cheese fondue in

It implied that everyone who came here had their culture melted down and cast into the European-American Protestant mold.
It's why everyone was forced to pick an anglo name when they immigrated and we looked down upon people who didn't speak English.
America has never been a multicultural society, it was always a monocultural society.
>>
>>55978288
also, note that the biggest shit stirrers were always the ones who refused to adapt to monocultural society. Blacks, Italians, Jews, etc.

So, what are Ukrainian Canadians like? My friend who studied in Canada told me that, somewhat paradoxically, if you're a Ukrainian from Ukrainian you might want to avoid them.
>>
>>55978938
>Ukrainian from Ukrainian
Now that's stupid. I meant to say "Ukrainian from Ukraine."
>>
>>55978938
They are assimilated, although they politically support ukraine, a lot, even though they escaped that shithole.
>you might want to avoid them
you might wanna avoid other ukrainians from ukraine, since most of them are bydlo

They basically reproduce Ukraine image from the early 20-th century. Ukrainian, don`t givin a fuck about some crusuall but more contemporary stuff is weird, no matter, how much variniki he is consuming.

They call them pierogy and don`t speack Ukrainian at all, by the way.
>>
>>55973621
Multiculture is just a buzzword. Americans know this, they are realists. They just want everyone to get along, not segregate people into different groups.
>>
melting pot refers to the other europeans who came over to america and moved american culture away from being strictly anglo like it is in australia and new zealand. ie germans, irish, italians, etc.
