    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.
