Cultural Assimilation Puns

There's a little throwaway line in "You are Cordially Invited' where they ask Alexander if there's going to be an actual party at Worf's bachelor party. "You're asking me? I can barely say my name in Klingon." As a second generation kid, that speaks to me.

So I was wondering why none of my colonies never assimilate, into my culture. And was reading the wiki for cultural Assimilation:

https://vic2.paradoxwikis.com/Assimilation

And I beleive the modifiers are weighted in such a way where if a cultural core exists in the state, then pops of that culture will mathematically never assimilate, no matter how good of a lifestyle they are afforded:

In my danish conquest of African sokoto, the pops will never become Danish, despite having 100% literacy and 100% luxury goods becuase the modifier for having a cultural core on the territory is so large.

Meaning the only way I can hope to integrate the colonial state, is if enough immigrants move their and assimilate to my culture.

The penalty for a culture having a core in a state is really severe. I was wondering if anyone knew any ways around this gameplay wise.

Either to remove cores or get better Assimilation rates.

I know cores can be removed. But I wasn't sure what Governed it if it was purely random, or if it's something I could do, or if it is random can I affect its MTTH?

Both definitions are so similar that I cannot pinpoint the difference. Please help.

Hi, i am writing this post to ask the general populace of Finland about cultural assimilation. I was born and raised here and my age is currently is 24, I have lived for almost 22 years within Finland and have lived the rest of my 2 years in England ( currently residing in Finland ). My father and mother are of a foreign background from Turkey. I call Finland my home, I have served in the compulsory conscription in the Finnish Defense Forces and currently work and study. My question is that can i, Such a person, Consider myself a Finn? My Finnish isn't perfect due to neurological issues along with learning disabilities but i know enough to get around and when it comes to serious topics and explaining myself in depth and detail, I use English as my language. As i mentioned, I work and do pay my taxes, I try to be an upstanding citizen and follow the Finnish Constitution, I am a modern Muslim, But despite all this, I'm i a Finn? Because there are some people within Finland firmly believe that despite all i have tried to done to assimilate, I am not a Finn. Another question : How can one consider themselves as a Finn? Is it the United States mindset where if you respect the United States Constitution and speak English you can consider yourself as a U.S citizen? Is it the same with Finland despite having a foreign sounding name? Or do you have to have been born in the middle of Kajaani with Finnish mother and father to be considered as a Finn with a fully Finnish name and everyone else is just a imposter and should be treated as a 2nd class citizen? Does your nationality has to be tied in with your ethnicity or can it transcend into something different?

I ask these questions because lately, I feel like that I'm in the middle of both worlds, Turkish people call me out for acting to Finnish and Finnish people tell me that I'm acting too Turkish and it's alienating and makes me feel that i belong in neither. I just want to read and see a true natives point of view.

Thank you for taking the time to read this and i humbly await your response.

Edit : I would like to thank you all for your responses, responses that are kind hearted, Warm, intelligent and insightful, To thank you all, I can only share what I understand and took away from your responses via one song, Which I would like to share :

I'm Black, not Indigenous. The news about the children that died while going to the Kamloops Indian Residential School, a BC residential school in Kamloops (3 hour drive northeast from Vancouver), were found in a burial site around the school hit me hard and made me cry. I'll make dua for the Tk'emlúps te Secwépemc First Nation that is seriously impacted.

Some info on residential schools: Established across Canada beginning in 1883, residential schools were federal government funded and church run schools that were designed to remove the varied languages, cultures and the like from the Indigenous peoples of Canada by starting with the kids. Students at these residential schools were abused by staff and teachers and they went through medical experiments. As well, some students died. The last residential school, Gordon's Indian Residential School, closed in 1996, and the legacy of residential schools are still impacting Indigenous peoples today.

Edit to add name of the residential school, fix a typo and correct for flow in same paragraph where I added name of said school

Edit 2 to mention name of the last residential school

do you have to rejects former culture and embraces a new culture.

I was reading through Intercommunalism by Huey Newton, to me this seems to be some form of cultural assimilation, and would lead to a destruction of cultures. As somebody who is an American Indian my cultural and practices has always influenced my view towards imperialism, colonization, and appeal towards socialism. Here is the except that I am referring to:

>QUESTION: So, in the ultimate intercommune, do you

To me this seems to suggest that my cultural practices wouldn't exist under communism, and if that is the case, what makes communism any better than capitalism when it comes to colonization and my liberation?

I'm open to hearing other interpretations and discussion regarding this.

So, some time ago I was playing as Greece with a extra mod for HPM to form Byzantium, once I got all my cores in the balkans and anatolia I passed a decision that gave me +450% cultural assimilation, the thing is none of my unaccepted pops converted into Greece. Something similar happened to me recently in a Zhourao run in DoD, you get a decision that gives you +150% cultural assimilation, which is supposed to assimilate all the aboriginals in your oceania cores but it just the same, it doesn't assimilate any of the pops. So why is that? Why aren't these decisions turning my unaccepted pops into accepted ones, is this a bug or something? Because I passed all the reforms that burst cultural assimilation so As fas as I know I'm not doing anything wrong.

Seems like the policy never fills in when you appoint a new governor, despite conditions that should favor it. I poked around in the script a little and it looks like this part of it is not working as intended -- at least when I comment it out the policy like I'd expect it to.

#		modifier = { # Won't do if all state territories already have governor's culture or the dominant culture of the owner
#			factor = 0
#			any_state_province = {
#				count = all
#				OR = {
#					dominant_province_culture = governor_or_ruler.culture
#					owner = {
#						any_country_culture = {
#							is_integrated = yes
#							this.culture = prev.prev.culture
#						}
#					}
#				}
#			}
#		}

We all know the Romans conquered hundreds of peoples, ethnic groups and linguistic communities...but to what extent did these conquered people "become" Roman?

I understand they probably accepted Latin as a lingua franca and many were pressed into military service...but was there an effort by these conquered peoples to maintain their native culture, language, songs, religion and traditions alive?

Would any Romans around the birth of Christ for example, proudly talk about their Etruscan heritage, speak Etruscan at home, celebrate Etruscan holidays and festivals in Conquered Etruria and simply, keep their culture alive?

Hi there! I was wondering if anyone knows any book (preferably not scientific journals) about acculturation .

I was having a discussion with someone lately about the assimilation/integration and how it actually takes quite a long time to understand a new culture, getting integrated on a surface level, having these ups and downs about the new place (there is this love and hate that goes in your head) and I was interested in knowing what the researchers says about this.

There are lots of people who are not living in the country they were born in/grew up, so I assume there should not be shortage of material.

The book can be a book about these theories on a scientific level or about the personal experiences of someone who has immigrated and has experienced these ups and downs.

Does anyone has any suggestion?

Hello, new player here

I started a game as Zulu today, westernized and then conquered Epthiopia, which became my colony. It has been under my control for about 30-40 years, and still there is only 1% Zulu population. Migration focus doesn't seem to make any difference.

I've heard from videos that pops must assimialte over time, but is the process always so slow?
And in general, how should I approach turning a colony Epthiopia into state as Zulu?

I’m a 28 year old Puerto Rican man. I’m just starting to learn Spanish. My parents (who are both 2nd generation in the US) refused to teach me and have admitted that it was to assimilate myself and my siblings. My mom’s usual excuse was because she didn’t want me to get bullied but I think that’s BS but I feel like the real reason was sort of self discriminatory on my mom’s part. I had a grandmother who passed who I never was able to have an actual conversation with. My other grandmother knew English but as she gets older she really only speaks Spanish. There are many relatives that I haven’t been able to develop relationships with because of this. I resent my parent tremendously for this but i have come to terms with the fact that it is now up to me. As I’ve really engulfed myself with Spanish and some of my culture, I’m having sort of an identity crisis.

I’m just curious to hear other people’s stories of cultural assimilation, how you dealt with it and maybe some resources to further familiarize myself with my history.

I know the title sounds harrowing but I'm curious if it is worth the extra micro time.
