You can disagree but it's true, the melting pot isn't a myth. I'm a brown skinned child of immigrants and my entire friend group is white and black people who have been here for generations along with other children of immigrants. Even my anti-immigrant Trump supporting next door neighbors are like a second family to me. Again for the vast majority of the country people get along amazingly well regardless of background, you just hear about the bad parts on the news. You can keep thinking people don't integrate into society but after 1 generation of being in the US anyone from anywhere can safely call themselves American. I can't say the same for Greece but culturally in the US wave after wave of immigrants become fully integrated American quite fast.
