Melting Pot

The idea of viewing the country as a melting pot is a good one but it gets very misconstrued. I do not understand why people get so made over things like this. We should look at all people as one single species instead of segregated groups. We are the only species that does this due to our ability to think, i think this is bad. Also the way we teach this in schools is all wrong, once again its just color it really does not matter.
