Salad Bowl Theory - Pilar Nelson Post#6

I think the salad bowl theory is a better way of explaining the diversity and differences in America. I can see why people may not like this because as a kid or even an individual we may not like certain things in our salad. For example, I may not like tomatoes or onions or salads period. But I agree that we need to tell the children something. Telling them the truth is way too much for them to handle at that age. Children should just be children and enjoy their life while they are young. I wish I can go back to when I was a kid. I would have done a lot of things differently, just because of the fact that I had to grow up fast. One of my deepest regrets, was growing up too early and discovering how cruel the world can be. Again, if I could go back I would do things differently. So maybe the salad bowl theory may not be the correct way of explaining ethnicity and race in America, but I rather say that until a better theory comes along.
