Warner and Myrdal claimed that black former slaves were not joining the ‘ethnic melting pot’ of the North American cities because:
the white population did not believe in liberty, equality, and democracy
they wanted to retain a strong sense of their original ethnic identity
they were not prepared to leave the Southern states and move to North America
the promise of citizenship was contradicted by continued discrimination
the promise of citizenship was contradicted by continued discrimination
The experiences of migrants to a country tells us a great deal about race relations in that country. The idea of an ‘ethnic melting pot’ suggests that societies with a relatively open structure will accept people from various ethnic backgrounds, but that they will gradually accommodate to the values and lifestyle of the dominant culture. This was Warner’s view of the North American city in the twentieth century, but he found that it did not apply to the former black slaves: they continued to face prejudice and discrimination from white people, and racial segregation persisted in many southern states. 203-205
