Assimilationism

The word is exploited by American Ethnicity theorists to insist over the theory that ethnic groups are the congregations of people from the same ethnicity or religion which maintain their culture by keeping their distance from outsiders.

So, once put in the same place, in this case the American society, geographically, the rational move in order to keep the society from falling apart would be to distribute a common odor among all components of the society including new-comer ethnic groups. This process which is called assimilation is likened to a melting pot by scholars; that is whoever enters this cycle has to melt into the American style and system of thinking, culture, and life.

After doing so, the belief is that all the prejudice and discrimination which used to be held up against ethnic groups, will gradually diminish and eventually fade away as the procedure of melting (assimilation) takes place, for the out coming results, which is one mono-color assembly has the quality of being united.

This figurative melting happens through two actual steps at the same time, the first one to be acculturation, which is equal access to the common culture of the society for ethnic groups as the natives and integrations which is the same amount of inclusion of ethnic group, compared to that of the natives, into society rather than them being remote.
