Where did "assimilation" happen? Because it was not in America. Oddly enough, the left is the side being accurate about this, by saying that immigrants never lose their culture (salad bowl analogy), while the neocons are the ones still pushing this blatantly-false "melting pot" analogy. The only melting pot for society is the meme with the chocolate gorilla melting into the milk. I've seen Whites become Whiggers, and if that's "assimilation" then I want no part of it.
