Answer to Question 1

Marriage statistics illustrate the effects of assimilation. At one time, 29 states prohibited or severely regulated marriages between Asians and non-Asians. Today, intermarriage, though not typical, is legal and certainly much more common. The increased intermarriage indicates that Whites are increasingly accepting of Chinese Americans and Japanese Americans. It also suggests that Chinese and Japanese ties to their native cultures are weakening. As happened with the ways of life of European immigrants, the traditional norms are being cast aside for those of the host society. In one sense, these changes make Chinese Americans and Japanese Americans more acceptable and less alien to Whites. But this points to all the changes in Asian Americans rather than any recognition of diversity in the United States. Intermarriage patterns reflect the fusion of different racial groups; however, compared with examples of assimilation and pluralism, they are a limited social process at present.
