You've heard it said:
How the United States "is the world's 'melting pot'"?
Actually the U.S. is a hodge-podge.
How, you may ask, is a hodge-podge different from a "melting pot"?
Well, a "melting pot" implies unity and harmoniousness among it's various factions...
...whereas a hodge-podge is merely a coexistence of various factions in any one given area without the necessity of compatibility and harmony between them
...which means there can also be discord and conflict between any two-or-more of these individual factions.
Which, in my opnion, is a more accurate portrayal of the social climates of the United States.
