Diversity in the United States has long been a proud hallmark of the nation's identity. However, this diversity has recently taken on a divisive tone, with an "us versus them" mentality overshadowing the unity it could foster.
Eboo Patel, a former interfaith advisor to the White House, wants society to reshape its perspective on the role of diversity in America; specifically, religious diversity. He advocates for harnessing religious diversity as a source of strength and collaboration, rather than letting it become a battleground.
Patel suggests replacing the antiquated “melting pot” model with a more inclusive “potluck” model, where individuals contribute their unique cultural and religious backgrounds to create a richer, more harmonious society.
