| Both my Grandparents were immigrant's, two had to learn the new language of thier adopted homes and two had very obvious "British" accent's. To be honest I had more of a hard time understanding my "English" Grandparents then My Russian Grandparents, I never heard either of the two complain. They all loved this Country till the day they died, both my Grandmothers where "Silver Star Mothers" ( Lost two son's each in WW2)
Assimilation however has little if nothing to do with affirmative action, which I favor. My wife's family holds on to thier "Italian" & "Latino" culture, I love it. |
