So the question comes down to really the difference between being Persian, full blooded, and wanting to see Iran someday or calling yourself Mexican and maybe one day "returning" to Mexico, for a visit.
How many Mexicans could possibly visit Mexico and return to America the country of the birth?
Is there a parallel to Persians and Do called Mexicans?
Over the years, it has been thus with REAL immigrants who want to assimilate and prosper.
As a volunteer reading tutor in a Nevada middle school, I have had teachers tell me that some fathers do not permit their kids to read, speak or write English at home as "Spanish is your heritage".
