“America is ultimately a nation of immigrants and as a result
is a cultural mish-mash in every sense of the word. Not only
is the country populated by people from foreign countries
but all Americans in one way or another trace their ancestry
back to another culture, whether Irish, German, Italian or
Scottish. Looking around any major city one will notice the
‘melting-pot’ that it is.”
