Well, in the melting pot there is a tendency to the assimilation of cultures, so all the diversity that enrich the world disappear and we end up all with the same culture. In contrast, there is the salad bowl where each culture preserve their uniqueness.
In Portugal I think that looks more like a salad bowl, because I don`t think we are so patriotic like the american (except when the national selection is playing). I think that portuguese people have a lot of stereotypes and they have difficulties in accepting the difference. For example, maybe they don`t treat people badly when they are in the store, but if they`re sons ask them to marries someone from the minority, a lot of them will not like. Why is that? What minorities have less then the others?
So I think that portuguese people are hypocrite, they don`t want to be mixed with other. They don`t tend to obligate others to adopt the portuguese culture, so they aren`t harsh, but in the end, they don`t want to make a part of their families and that`s sad because I think that diversity is a good thing and that improve our love to the world.
