America has had "the Melting Pot" for at least two centuries: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Melting_pot
Whites are naive thinking about melting pots and letting go of their identity while other groups do not.
Ah yes, as if Spanish and german americans haven't been influenced or changed by U.S. culture at all.

Ask anyone who was born in the U.S. with an immigrant background if they feel at home in their parents country, chances are they will say no and they will feel like a foreigner there.

I'll take your word for it. My Hispanic partner disagrees, but what does he know?
