Immigrants lead the way in demanding assimilation, study finds

[Deleted]

1. Not a credible source
2. Just going outside and looking around proves to me that this clearly is NOT the case. I still hear arabic gibberish when I see immigrants talking among eachother.

So if you moved to a new country you would not speak your own language with friends and family? Yah, get off that high horse.

If you don't speak the country's language when you are in closed circles, like your family you mentioned, then they and you will never learn the language properly and thus can never fully assimilate.

I speak English as my first language, and frankly, I seem to understand and utilize it better than a lot of the Americans I meet.

Yet I speak Greek at home with my brother and mother.

Hopefully we can stop having these false claims posted that they don't want to be part of society. Clearly they do.
Really neat how highly they view Germany as well eh?

Why do you go out and find a strawman blog and post it as fact everyday?

I never get tired of this pedantry over the word "racism".

Personally, I find it easier to just admit that I'm indeed an evil racist so we can get back to discussing whether I'm actually wrong about anything or whether someone's just pointing and sputtering about racism because they've run out of actual arguments. The modern definition of "racist" is sufficiently broad as to make sure everyone fits under the umbrella, arguing that you're "not racist" is about as fruitful as insisting to the Pope that you're not a sinner - surely we've all sinned against the gods of diversity.

Yeah, it's pretty obviously a nonsense claim. People that think speaking with your family in whatever languages prevents learning strong English skills have to be pretty sheltered or they would have met some of the many first generation Americans that have no discernible accent but grew up speaking their parents mother tongue at home.

This is another case of people confusing migrants with refugees. This study is done with Turkish and Russian citizens. They are a completely separate group from Syrian/Somali etc refugees. These immigrants cannot even come here hoping for free money, they pretty much have to work to be allowed to reside for a longer period of time.

Again, UN has no relevance because they don't actually have any deciding power in a country.

Neither do dictionaries.

Why are you so offended by this report exactly? You can just admit you were wrong as I proved evidence.

Did you read the source of the statistics?
