I think that's sad. That's how many cultures and identity is lost because later descendents began to identify and speak other than their parents. I see it around, but I don't know if everyone stopped identifyng as what they are or their parents are, we would no longer have diversity.

What are you talking about? My family in Colombia doesn't identify as Latino nor Hispanic. Those are US invented ethnicities. What's sad is that my parents let the US impose that identity on them !
