low shot ? not sure what you are talking about...
The root of nation is natal, so you can see right there... US not a nation.
As far as the whole melting pot "philosophy" as you call it:
first use of the concept was here:
"whence came all these people? They are a mixture of English, Scotch, Irish, French, Dutch, Germans, and Swedes... What, then, is the American, this new man? He is either a European or the descendant of a European; hence that strange mixture of blood, which you will find in no other country. I could point out to you a family whose grandfather was an Englishman, whose wife was Dutch, whose son married a French woman, and whose present four sons have now four wives of different nations. He is an American, who, leaving behind him all his ancient prejudices and manners, receives new ones from the new mode of life he has embraced, the new government he obeys, and the new rank he holds.... The Americans were once scattered all over Europe; here they are incorporated into one of the finest systems of population which has ever appeared.
— J. Hector St. John de Crevecoeur, Letters from an American Farmer
and here is Emerson's commentary on the same topic:
The fusing process goes on as in a blast-furnace; one generation, a single year even—transforms the English, the German, the Irish emigrant into an American. Uniform institutions, ideas, language, the influence of the majority, bring us soon to a similar complexion; the individuality of the immigrant, almost even his traits of race and religion, fuse down in the democratic alembic like chips of brass thrown into the melting pot
-------------------
So you can see right there that the original "melting" was never intended to try to graft africans and latinx and martians into the experiment... it was understood as a merging of EUROPEAN peoples... which is actually a semi-realistic aspiration as the European peoples shared a relatively common history and religion...
The modern concept which you seem to be parroting here is just the degenerate hollywood version presented by the Jew Israel Zangwill:
In The Melting Pot (1908), Israel Zangwill combined a romantic denouement with an utopian celebration of complete cultural intermixing.
- and you can see how that went by taking a look in any western city these days...
Nice "nation", bruh.
