Do you mind of their ancestors assimilation and loss of crops in the family?

I have to admit that this issue was conceived in my mind by the recent debates on illegal immigration and disputes with the Hispanic culture here in the U.S. overwhelmingly Southwest. It seems that the waves the majority of immigrants was severely everything possible to suppress the practice of their culture when they came here and were quick to assimilate as "Americans." Many refused to speak their language with their children and gave up the celebrations and other distinguishing features and connections to the old country. I'm half Irish and some my friends are Italian, Egyptian and Greek, however, our families can be interchangeable. Being so surrounded by Mexican culture, we now realize that I miss miss having a heritage and wish I could hear Irish music blaring, see Irish language billboards in my neighborhood, whatever. Basically, I think I am very jealous of Mexicans in this country who have their cultural centers, television stations, magazines, including the congressional delegation.

Yes I know. Especially for us, the Jewish people, we feel almost a tragedy when one of us assimilated. We are too small a town to lose one of them to other cultures.
