arab enclaves

The terms “melting pot,” “salad bowl,” and “cultural mosaic” are often used figuratively to illustrate American citizens’ identity and ethos. Every culture can be found somewhere in the States, with most of the diversity being found in cities. Major groups include Asian Americans, Arab Americans, African Americans, European Americans, Hawaiian Americans, and Native Americans. These groups usually congregate into separate enclaves (ethnically distinct portions of a population) that contain elements of their ancestral cultures.
