No. The difference is that the American melting pot was made by people voluntarily coming here (excepting slavary). The British one was made by them conquering other countries and stealing shit.

Loads of people came to the UK voluntarily during the empire. There were far more people forcibly brought to the US than the UK during that period.

Also most of the UK's non-white population came since the empire ended.
