People seem to have misread the intent of this thread. I was going to start a debate on identity of second generation immigrants of none-european descent. It's not about an inferiority complex, or a off-white thread. I want some arguments for and against it. Maybe the title was incorrect.

There are many second-generation immigrants who seem to have fully assimilated into their host country's culture, and they seem to be fully Westernized with no trouble. Although if you mean would they be accepted by the hosts as one of their own in the complete sense of the word..I honestly think only a minority would be that accepting while the majority would always keep in mind, maybe even subconsciously, their foreign roots.. (I'm thinking more in the European context).
