Why has the salad bowl replaced the melting pot as a metaphor for american multiculturalism?

Like ingredients in a salad, individuals can contribute to the whole while maintaining their own cultural identity

Explanation:

When you see a melting pot, the ingredients most of the time have had to loose their characteristics and merge with the whole in order to create something new they are put through boiling water, but in a salad every ingredient can come as it is and make it better and more beautiful, that is why the metaphor has been changed to give space in the metaphor for everyone to keep their culture and still add to the whole.
