Entry: The Lie of Assimilation Link: http://www.takimag.com/blogs/article/the_lie_of_assimiliation#8787 Post contents: Scott makes an excellent point here, regarding the myth of assimilation. Sure, some ethnic European immigrants did assimilate, and one can even find examples of more exotic immigrants who are more or less assimilated. However, those cases of assimilation are the Exceptions that prove the Rule, the Rule being that assimilation doesn't really happen. Once we face reality on this issue, we can see how the lack of assimilation has adversely affected American culture, politics and even the economy. Sent at: 2008 07 23
