"What is your experience telling you. Do you think that they would 'limit displays of pride to and reserve for accomplishments of deeds or goals'."

On "displays of pride," I was referring to the behaviors of individuals. In Denver, Colorado, USA, for example, many of the Russian ethnic people are moving into a Mexican culture neighborhood, where they say that they are more culturally comfortable. I'm not complaining about it but am interested. Most (not all) walk very stoicly and speak very loudly with much emphasis of accent in language. They are also very easily offended and perceive even American soldiers to be weak and effeminate by what we in the USA call gentlemanly behavior (remotely similar to old Chinese religious standard of personal humility for warriors).

But in reply to the rest of what you wrote, we in the USA would probably do what most others in the world are doing in that kind of situation. If we did not assimilate a high influx of a culture that is very different from ours, we would eventually partition the area of other culture from our own. Genocide is not an option for us, considering our moral values, and partitioning is a much more humane (although very difficult) way of "ethnic cleansing."

But then so far, we in the USA have assimilated other cultures that are very different from our own. It will be interesting to see what we do with our recent and current higher flow of immigrants. If they change our culture much, we deserve it for having embraced feminism (divorce, cohabitation,...) and for having abandoned older family values, IMO.
