"Cultural assimilation is a process of integration whereby members of an ethno-cultural community (such as immigrants, or ethnic minorities) are "absorbed" into another, generally larger, community. This implies the loss of the characteristics of the absorbed group, such as language, customs, ethnicity and self-identity."

I know asians are known as the "model minority" but I don't think all asians assimilate that much into American society though (although a lot do I). I know a lot of asians who went to school and make a lot of money but they tend to stick to themselves etc in their own communities etc.
