But they are assimilating. Any bets on 5th and 6th generation?
Think the difference, and what a lot of folks don't like, is that people leave place A, move to place B, and instead of integrating in place B and becoming part of the existing community they create a micro-community (or not so micro in some cases) of place A. Instead of being Cuban-Americans or Mexican-Americans why not just be Americans?
