Melting pot?

On Facebook Lenina Close posts,

I had the most interesting dream last night. I was staying at my beloved Abbey (St. Walburga in Northern Colorado) and my friend Tom Krannawitter came to visit me to discuss the recent violent events in the nation and the subject of race. I told him that I could no longer teach my students that America was the glorious "melting pot" the founders intended. It seemed to me that we had become no better than yesterday's "dirty laundry," where the colors must be separated or there would be "bleeding." I explained that the exception was sometimes in cold, the colors could be mixed without "bleeding" but never in hot. Further, that skin color was as insignificant to one's character as the clothing one wears but until we evolve past the idea of "race" that we would never be any better than yesterday's dirty laundry. (I'm tagging a few friends and students for discussion) Feedback? Analysis?
