-and those people will be culturally indistinguishable from "real americans" within one or two generations..not just because we're brutally ffective at assimilation..but because we do and always have incorporated immigrant culture into our culture.
Last I checked, the uk was a tad bit slower in producing that effect.....but..still produced it within a few generations.
(frustrating everyone's super traditional Nana to no end - who no longer hsa anyone to talk to because no one speaks her language or shows up at her homeland themed soirees like they're supposed to)
adden- It might be the height of irony that,.more than anything else..attempts to exclude or ostracize immigrants are the most effective way to -prevent- their assimilation.
If some immigrant can't go to the ball game for fear of being rounded up by ICE...it's not really surprising that they don't end up being fully part of that ball game culture. Or..if they're systematically disenfranchised and discriminated against..that they exist in a persistently adversarial relationship with the native culture. Essentially, the bigots application of a self fulilling prophecy IRL.
