Redefining Identity Through Assimilation
Assimilation is a process in which immigrants and nonimmigrants undergo in order
to adopt a new culture, language, and different practices of a new social group that serves
as the dominant social group within that nation. It is also a way in which these individuals
are “forcefully” socially emersed within the new culture that they might often times lose
their own culture to fit in. Many immigrants undergo this assimilation process unwillingly
but many of these individuals do it in order to avoid rejection from the citizens of that
country. Assimilation for many can be good or bad but each serve their own purpose.
Assimilation in the United States is seen heavily and has many advantages and
disadvantages from both an immigrant’s perspective as well as a nonimmigrant. As an
immigrant many of their culture is not heavily seen with in the US as each individual has
been forced into assimilation. One of the disadvantages of assimilation is that the
discrimination serves as an inequality for those immigrants as they are forced to change who
they are to fit the new popular culture. This distinction between being and doing reflects a
bias toward assimilation. Courts will protect traits like skin color of chromosomes because
such traits cannot be changed. In contrast, the courts will not protect mutable traits, because
individuals can alter them to fade into the mainstream (Yoshino, 2016).

airlines fought for race discrimination and lost her case because the airline company did not
want her to wear conrows to work. She argued that the hairstyle was distinctly associated
