I don't know, I read an article recently that was talking about a class of immigrants (don't remember what nationality) and how through some studies they had discovered that they really weren't interested in integrating with American culture - their own traditions were being retained. I wish I could remember what nationality they were, but I just can't.

Traditions change, I hope that at least some cultural artifacts remain. I am slightly jealous of some other families that have stronger cultural ties to their past then I do. I'm Italian on my dad's side and Slovakia on my mom's side. I have pasta issues - red sauce or just plain butter? =)

Scottish here, if my name didn't tell you.

In what generation do we become Americans? Will our grandchildren still be calling themselves Scottish, Mexican, Irish, Italian, etc? Oh well; turnabout is fair play: Maybe in a century we'll have settled it but the kids of the EU will still be arguing over whether they're European or Scottish, Irish, Italian, etc.
