Assimilation

It is what the United State's government did to the indigenous tribes in order to cast out the inner "native" from them. Involved sending the children to the state-run boarding schools in order to destroy their "savage" culture. In many cases, assimilation was the solution for the government to obtain land, stripping the indigenous of precious resources.

The United States forced assimilation upon Native Americans in means of "killing the indian, but saving the man."

Assimilate

Assimilation isn't living together as friends, it never was.

1) The guy/girl trying to assimilate you was never your friend. You're divided from him/her for a good reason.

2) The guy didnt assimilate to people not from his neighborhood, it was his neighborhood, not theirs.

assimilate

What the Borg does in startrek, destroying difference among people in order to make the perfect society. What Jews had to do in antisemitic Europe in the 19th century. What every minority is expected to do.

”We will add your biological and technological distinctiveness to our own. Your culture will adapt to service us. Resistance is futile. You will be assimilated."
