Therefore, instead of the formation of a homogeneous national ethnic mix, what is actually happening is the creation of many mini-melting pots in various regions—a trend that contrasts with the rest of the U.S., which is far less diverse. pubtype: Periodical doctype: Article src: R language: English refInfo: copyright: @attributes: flag: N holdings: @attributes: islocal: N |
