The English who settled here assimilated, so did the Irish, so did the Germans, so did the Polish, so did the Welsh, so did the Swedes I could go on and on. Japanese Americans assimilated so well most third generation are just like white people who have been here 300 years. The idea that assimilation is just never happened is factually inaccurate.
Listen to yourself. Your argument for assimilation only includes 1 culture that isn’t European and thus has massive foundational similarities in their way of life. Even then, when ANY group came over to the US, they formed ethnic enclaves. Assimilation took generations to accomplish and even then they retained bits of their original culture.
Including English and Germans, as if American culture wasn’t a combination of their cultures in the first place, is also goofy.
What is your bar for assimilation? True assimilation would be that they have become WASPs. That means culture, religion, AND race. Even then, culture differs by region. The North is not the South. The South is not the Midwest. Religion and race are the only 2 left and those are obviously splintered in the modern day.
I’m sure your bar is lower, but where is it, exactly? Do they only need to adopt culture and learn the language and poof, they’re American?
Whether people like or want to believe it or not, race is inherently tied to nationhood and is
the binding force outside of religion. At least before the modern Western man decided he knew better and that people could learn to become a true citizen of another country. After all, beliefs are magical and transcend race, right? Just ask Liberia.
Niggers have been here since inception and have never assimilated. I’m sure SOME Japanese have assimilated, but so have SOME niggers. Exceptions prove the rule, not the other way around.
