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...
