it's their loss, becoz in the end you will always be what you are. assimilation is one thing but the loss of one's culture full stop is bad. however having said that, nepal as a nation is so fu.cking fragmented culturally, it really gets me mad and jealous to see other other migrant communities gelling so well. black, brown blue, tall thin....they are all " insert every other nation besides ours" i mean your kids and my kids could have fights all day at school, because they want to believe in their nepaliness, and try and preserve their cultural identity and their difference from their anglo saxon counter-parts. and then they go to a nepalese bbq and a group of uncles ask them. ani nani ko tharr chahi key ni ? know what i mean? we are all nepalese, but he is a little more and she is less. oh fuc.king come on. i don't eat the right side of a chicken's breast and hence i am more nepali. he is the highest caste nepali in the world. she is a priest/warrior caste, they are aryans, she don't eat mushrooms, they are mongoloid.... come the fuc.k on with all your antiquated notions of identity. we are many but we are one. and if u want to pretend that u don't want to speak nepali. then don't. i don't give a fuc.king shit. u don't matter. people who dictate national identity by your cultural background do ! sieg heil fu.ck
