Melting pot
melting pot
–noun 1. a pot in which metals or other substances are melted or fused.
2. a country, locality, or situation in which a blending of races, peoples, or cultures is taking place.
In both senses I would translate "melting pot" as "crisol", and feel comfortable with that.
Yet I have a concern, while to me "crisol" is a widely known term, is this just my appreciation of it?
I.e. is there a more common Spanish word or expression for it?
Your views and input will be greatly appreciated...
Nueva York es un crisol de culturas...
