Yes, such assimilation does occur in immigrant new world societies, but
it takes time. If you leave people to their natural devices, it will
take 3-4 generations.

However, "Japanese in name only" is not correct in my opinion. They
still preserve Japanese (Asian) faces ( unless they intermarried) so it
is in name and in race, as well. Ask them what they got called in
school when they were growing up. "Americans?" Don't think so.

They "look" physically like Japanese, Koreans, Chinese (yes they do
share dna) but they dress and or act different... even old Kung-fu
movies used it as a plot device.




BTW, assimilation is rare or impossible without intermarriage in most
old world societies: children and grandchildren and many generations
ahead of immigrants are never assimilated into places like Japan,
Germany, Russia, China, unless they actually mix blood with the
natives. That is if the natives want to mix with them.

With USSR you're not entirely correct... with the others they are not
multicultural societies like the US. As for what they were called it
depends on generation and/or location.. my own children have only been
called asian names by blacks... and in some parts of the US they blend
in completely.

But my point was that in these other nations (Japan) it is a cultural
problem more than a racial identity... which is why they have a huge
seperate Korean community tho they them selves can't tell the
difference until they speak to one another- and believe me this happens
to overseas Japanese when they visit or return home after a long
absence.
