In 1908, playwright Israel Zangwill referred to America as a melting pot. Zangwill's concept of the United States as a country where people of all cultures and nations are free to come and contribute to a common American culture remains a popular concept-even more than a century after its introduction.

More recently, the concept of the American mosaic asserts that American society consist not of melting pot in which people and cultures mix together to form a larger American culture, but as a mosaic in which ethnic groups come to the United States and coexist with other groups but maintain significant cultural and social distinctions among themselves.
