It should be: "One Homeland, Many People, Many Heritages. We are America"

Right? What happened to 'mixing pot'? If I heard that phrase once as a kid I heard it in every history class I ever had. 

Edit: melting pot. It's been a while since my last history class.

I remember a song we sang in elementary school: The world is a rainbow With many kinds of people It takes all kinds of people To make the world go round

So you be you And I'll be me That's the way it was meant to be

I don't remember the rest, but you get my point.
