Should immigrants assimilate to the culture?
I don't really have an opinion on this. While I am, generally, in favour of the free movement of peoples, I'm not sure whether they should be expected to conform. On a personal level, seeing Pakistani people and other similar Asians in their native dress unnerves me whenever I see them around Birmingham.

Making it a point that keeping their own culture and imposing their culture on the existing populace are two different things, they have every right to keep their own culture. Saying otherwise is pretty narrow minded, considering that if you were to immigrate, you'd want to keep your own culture. Some people say that "I'd respect their culture, and do as they do if I did immigrate." But that's one of those things people can say since they've never been in that specific situation.

1 回复They should not have to adapt to culture such as clothes ect ect. But language yes, they should learn the local language of the country they go to.

They can do whatever they want, but they shouldn't expect others to adapt. They moved, they adapt. They speak English; they don't get jobs that require good English like bus drivers, waiters or general practitioners. Sorry but whichever country one's talking about that's how it should be; I'd expect the same if I emmigrated to the richer parts of India (obviously not the slums, let's be realistic...).

5 回复My great-grandmother came here from Italy during WWII. She told me how proud she was when she passed the citizenship test and could finally call America her home. She still mainly spoke Italian, of course, but knew enough English to get by. She said that we should be proud of our culture and that we're one of the most welcoming countries on the planet.

2 回复It's an ideal middle ground really, practises that conflict heavily with western ideals/law/norms shouldn't really be accepted wholeheartedly. It works both ways, if I became an Expat in Saudi Arabia - I couldn't go out and drink alcohol in the street (Not that I ever would touch that disgusting stuff) as it does not fit their rules/culture. As for your personal level, are we referring to Burkhas?

Someone who plans on staying in the country that they immigrate to should learn enough to communicate well with natural born citizens. But there's no reason for them to abandon their own culture either.[spoiler]50/50[/spoiler]

I don't think they should be forced to, no. Mandating what a culture should be like isn't really a recipe for progress, and immigrants who bring their own cultures to new countries are one of the main motivators of change.
