Apparently, the term “melting pot” implies that foreigners should be required to assimilate to American society, which is considered racist.
Even the Daily Beast is having a hard time accepting this line of reasoning.
Fifty years after the birth of the free speech movement at the University of California, Berkeley, officials across the UC system are encouraging faculty and students to purge mundane, potentially offensive words and phrases from their vocabularies.
Administrators want members of campus to avoid the use of racist and sexist statements, though their notions about what kinds of statements qualify are completely bonkers. “America is a melting pot,” “Why are you so quiet?” and “I believe the most qualified person should get the job,” are all phrases that should raise red flags, according to the UC speech police.
Requests for faculty to quit perpetrating these teensiest of microaggressions are thankfully just that—requests—although the fact that they come straight from the desk of UC President Janet Napolitano lends them some muscle. On January 5, Napolitano dispatched letters to UC deans and department chairs inviting them to attend seminars “to foster informed conversation about the best way to build and nurture a productive academic climate.” That’s bureaucrat-speak for learn to keep your mouths shut.
Maybe these liberals are getting their jimmies rustled by attempts to ban this term because it was originally popularized by a Jew, Israel Zangwill, in his play of this name.
The Melting Pot is a play by Israel Zangwill, first staged in 1908. It depicts the life of a Russian-Jewish immigrant family, the Quixanos. David Quixano has survived a pogrom, which killed his mother and sister, and he wishes to forget this horrible event. He composes an “American Symphony” and wants to look forward to a society free of ethnic divisions and hatred, rather than backward at his traumatic past.
The hero of the play proclaims : “America is God’s Crucible, the great Melting-Pot where all the races of Europe are melting and reforming… Germans and Frenchmen, Irishmen and Englishmen, Jews and Russians – into the Crucible with you all! God is making the American.”‘
Some critics of the play have taken issue with David’s apparent willingness to give up his ties to Judaism in order to become “American.” Although the idea of “melting” as a metaphor for ethnic assimilation had been used before, Zangwill’s play popularized the term “melting pot” as a symbol for this occurrence in American society.
The term “melting pot” has been cited as racist and demeaning to minorities by theorists of “White Privilege,” as a document from a seminar in Oregon recently showed.
This definitely demonstrates that liberalism continues to evolve, and will even attack its previous incarnations in its attempt to further push for the destruction of the heterosexual White male.
