The melting pot survives
Article Abstract:
Migrants to the US appear to be assimilating if this is judged by how far they have established roots in the US, rather than whether they still maintain links with their countries of origin. Immigrants who have been in the US for some time are more likely to be US citizens, own their homes in the US, and speak English. Ten years after their arrival, 76% of immigrants had high proficiency in the English language. Around a third of Asian and Latino women form the third generation are marrying people from a different ethnic group.

From workshop to melting pot
Article Abstract:
The ethnic minority population in Birmingham, England, has expanded rapidly over recent years. Indeed, people from ethnic minorities will account for around half the city's population by 2008. The growth in the ethnic minority population has led to social tension, but ethnic minorities have become very important to the city's economy. The city's Indians are performing extremely well academically, and are beginning to provide a new class of professionals and entrepreneurs.
