      A melting pot is a monocultural metaphor for a heterogeneous society becoming more homogeneous, the different elements “melting together” with a common culture

      Yes, as opposed to moving towards a diverse, multicultural, heterogeneous society, isn’t it?

      “Melting pot” is a reduction of diversity.

      Maybe I should correct my statement to “generally used by conservatives,” instead of saying it’s specifically a conservative term.
