Permissive melting pot
“I could point out to you a family whose grandfather was an Englishman, whose wife was Dutch, whose son married a French woman, and whose present four sons have now four wives of different nations. He is an American, who leaving behind him all his ancient prejudices and manners, receives new ones from the new mode of life he has embraced. . . . Here individuals of all nations are melted into a new race of men. (Crevecouer, Letters from an American Farmer, 1782).
“. . . America is God’s Crucible, the Great Melting Pot where all races of Europe are melting and re-forming! Here you stand . . . In your fifty groups, with your fifty languages and histories, and your fifty blood hatreds and rivalries. But you won’t be long like that, brothers, . . . God is making the American. . . . The real American has not yet arrived. ..> he will be the fusion of all the races, perhaps the coming superman. (Zangwill, The Melting Pot, 1908).
