They America we know today is made up of many cultures. The fusion of cultures, food, and religions makes America what it is today. Because of the many cultures in America, it is hard to actual say who is an American and what it mean to be an American. Yes, having pride in your country is one of the things many people say makes you American, but what else is there? Is it the way you walk, talk, or carry yourself? Cultural diversity is great, but in our history it has caused us a lot of pain, suffering, and many people lost their lives. The first "attempt" at diversity in America was the shipment of slaves to the land. Blacks and white together have created many problems in terms of segregation and racial barriers in the history of America. Cultural diversity is good and bad. As America grows in population, there's no way this can be avoided. America is and will aways be the melting pot of cultures from around the world.
