the reality isn't a melting pot in USA, but a "salad bowl". You won't see black in spanish harlem, you won't see hispanics in bedford stuyvesant, you won't see anything else than chinese in sunset park or flushing, and anything else that whites in williamsburg/brooklyn heights. And that's just nyc.
I've seen this accross multiple place in the US, the exception being few rich neighborhoods but as soon as there is poverty people stick to their race.
The modern use of "ghetto" was popularized by the US for a reason, living example of the success of poorly handled multiculturalism.

No, we handle multiculturalism quite well. I interact regularly with people of other races/cultures and live with them too. Unlike Europeans us Americans are very tolerant and welcoming

I never implied you were part of the poverty class, however you live in a rich/upper middle class neighborhood hence the exception.
And again, the way you act doesn't reflect the way things are. If you travel a bit across the US you might have the same observation

hes just baiting you benj.

its the same in europe too, people tend to stick together with others of their own culture for various reasons. 1 very obvious one is language. which perhaps doesnt apply as much to the usa actually, but it does so very much for immigrants in europe. and there are a few other big factors

I don't own a pool, and the only video game I play is 10+ years old
