Needs sources and NPOV

This article is vague and biased. Sources are needed and material should be expanded to show complexity of issues. It seems to assume all assimilation is forced and bad. It confuses what a state may compel with what individuals choose on their own. To include interfaith marriages between Jews and Christians in the US under "Forced assimilation" seems to be going way too far.--Parkwells (talk) 23:30, 12 March 2009 (UTC)

Yes, it's obviously politically motivated. In a sane world this garbage would be removed. But here is stands. John2o2o2o (talk) 23:22, 14 March 2018 (UTC)

Immigrants to Americans: The Rise and Fall of Fitting In / Chapter 6 page 124 by Mariah Diaz

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Forced_assimilation

The wikipedia article I chose is written neutrally in my perspective. This is because it is not written with any opinion based statements such as "I believe" or "I think". All of the information provided within this article is categorized under useful topics related to assimilation such as ethnicity and religion. It gives factual information on what exactly assimilation is. I also noticed that this article does have a section for all the references it used and makes sure to cite the information it provides in each section. I did recognize some of the populations it addresses under this topic however, I do believe this article can benefit if it does include and go more into depth with underrepresented populations.

A page I selected from my Ebook comes from From Immigrants to Americans: The Rise and Fall of Fitting in, Chapter 6 page 124. This page explains how immigrants are more likely to be drawn to enclaved neighborhoods just to avoid adaptations to their new way of living. Language and nationality seems to be the main concern most immigrants have when moving to a new destination. "Immigrants are drawn to enclave neighborhoods because they allow residents to avoid some of the costs of assimilation" (124). Mariahrose62 (talk) 00:27, 13 November 2021 (UTC)
