Some scholars have replaced the "melting pot" term with the "salad bowl theory." The melting pot concept posited that immigrants came to the United States with a multitude of backgrounds, religions, and cultures. Once in the United States, however, they melted together to form an American culture with no single immigrant culture standing out from others. The salad bowl theory, on the other hand, argues that these immigrants came to the United States and retained their cultures.
