Well, I don't know about that.
I'm Cuban American but I have not assimiliated at all here in our town on the Left Coast.
My wife shaves her legs and her armpits, she doesn't wear Birkenstocks, we don't have rings through our noses, we are not vegans, we don't smoke dope, we don't believe in channeling crystals, we never gaze into our navels, we don't vote Democrat, I keep my kids out of public school, I am Politically Incorrect and our dog was named Dixie.
I refuse to assimilate.
In regards to the thread topic: The city needs to apologize profusely to the lady and fire that managers arse ASAP.
