International research has shown that some measure of
assimilation is inevitable for any ethnic community.
Even seemingly airtight communities such as Hasidic Jews
cannot totally escape a slight touch of assimilation.
Furthermore, assimilation is a two-way process. As an
immigrant absorbs the culture of his host country, he is
also giving off and surrendering some of his own imported
heritage. As a result, a Greek, Italian, Arab, Jew, Asian,
living in Australia for a long-time is likely to gradually
create a new identity, although he may not be aware of it.

What the former immigrants still believe to be their identity
may well be regarded as totally Australian by the contemporary
residents of their former countrymen. As a result it can be
argued that they have left themselves open to unavoidable
gradual assimilation. We've seen this happening over the
decades in this country. And at present Australia is one of
the most ethnically diverse societies in the world. This
will continue with any new immigrants that we acquire.

I see that the biggest Sudanese population is in Blacktown Sydney, and there is no gang violence. Maybe Desperate Dan Andrews should pop down and see a success story.
