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.
