Good video. Admittedly I find the music annoying and I don't know if this really helps?

[josejavierprietoprawl]

Thanks for the video. We humans are all cut by the same scissors, no matter how weird is our culture: we want to live with love and joy and avoid suffering, and only that can be gotten in healthy social relationships. And that can only be achieved by stop being ignorant of our simplest and deepest nature.

Lmao- "I know a couple that one woman, she speaks Spanish and her husband...you know...is Black".

Not sure why the assumption is that Black people can't speak

[amyguinoo]

[AbyssalTenacity]

are accomodation and acculturation equivalent?

[valedonnkoussou]

The adoption of foreign lifestyle like foods consumption by local customers is assimilation?

[ramidevitt]

Acculturation and linguistic syncretism sound fine to me.

To a certain extent people do need to assimilate to the culture. One example is the adoption of the same language as it is the main way we communicate. If we can’t communicate properly with each other, then it leads miscommunication and societal clashes. So there are people who come to the US don’t bother to learn English but expect Americans to speak their language for their convenience.

Not sure why she rolled her eyes when she said "American" in quotes...what she is saying acculturation meand is what most people think of as as assimilation in this day and age. The key is that people have primary loyalty to the society they moved to and its values. It's essential to a functioning and flourishing society
