Re: Assimilation
If a caucasian American moves to Pakistan you would expect him/her to follow Pakistani norms. If it's a woman she would definitely be expected to wear shulwar kameez because that is how women are expected to dress in Pakistan.
I have yet to meet any Pakistanis living in west who distance themselves from their culture. If anything, Pakistanis in the west are more conservative and culture conscious than those living in Pakistan.
Why do most men in Pakistan wear western clothing? (just look at school uniforms of boys compared to girls) Why do so many people in Pakistan converse in English? Are they ashamed of their culture?
