The United States is more a "salad bowl" than a "melting pot" because President Jimmy Carter combined these ideas when he described the United States this way: "We become not a melting pot but a beautiful mosaic.Different people, different beliefs,…different hopes, different dreams."(making a better life ) What he meant by this saying is that we are not a melting pot because everybody in america has different cultures or heritage .Also you can take out the carrots and cucumbers or whatever that it is that you put in salad as in a melting pot when you put things in it it becomes one and you can't take out all the parts equally that you put in the melting pot
