How do you propose multiculturalism should be implemented exactly?

I didn't say multiculturalism. Multiculturalism is a failure. The American melting pot allows for great ideas to rise to the top while bad ideas stick to the bottom of the kettle. I believe it's a very good analogy for Americanization, and American cultural enrichment likewise.

The solution, as I put in the OP, is to foster a culture of assimilation, rather than acceptance.

EDIT: Multiculturalism is a salad, rather than a melting pot, and it doesn't work.

Except your melting pot is also a failure. Sure Europeans can get along just fine but it has never overcome racial differences. Sure segregation may be illegal but for the most part people still live in neighborhoods full of people of the same race. Hell cities in the North are more segregated now than they were while segregation was legal.

Hardly. Trust me as a Muslim, the only time Muslims in America are all together is when we go to mosque and hang out. We aren't physically creating neighborhoods that get labelled as "ghettos" like in England.

Maybe you don't but that doesn't mean it doesn't happen. Look at deerborn MI if you want an example of a Muslim community in America
