Assimilation to each other? How about assimilation to this country cause that's where the problem lays.

Melting pot is in full effect:

Rate of Mixed-Race Marriage Has Doubled in the Past 30 Years

There is no written set of code that define what US culture is, not even an official language.

There is no reason White Americans can't do the same thing.
As I told you before, all that will change with continued illegal immigrtion mostly from Latino countries. American culture will change, not mine. I object to losing our American culture. It would become a Hispanic one instead. I don't care what culture one chooses to practice at home.

Interracial marriage has nothing to do with assimilation to our nation's culture and langauge.

Sure it does, because there isn't a defined culture or language...hence the MELTING POT.

We could all start speaking Mandarin tomorrow and it shouldn't change the way US operates.

So you think eating ethnic foods and celebrating holidays is what this is all about? We still have an identifying culture of own while doing the above. It will be lost with a continued influx of illegal aliens from mostly one ethnic group. We would lose our "identifying" culture. Hint, we aren't a Hispanic nation in identity.

I am confused, is thread about Illegal Immigration or Hispanic Assimilation?

Are these synonymous to you?

As we both know, Hispanic is a cutural and ethnic group. As you said, race is inconsequential. The Germans were white and so were the Spaniards but their cultures and languages are entirely different. It is the loss of our cultural identity that I object to via illegal immigration.
