There's almost 0 state efforts to preserve the cultural identities of immigrants of any kind

When people celebrate "diversity" in the West, it's just eating shawarma, drinking boba, watching Anime, listening to kpop, and eating at an Ethiopian restaurant. Pure commodification and consumerism masquerading as celebration and promotion of foreign cultures

Or you'll have people fetishizing about spicy latinas, lightskins, and Asians like they're fucking Pokemon cards

    Yiddish for me. Completely dead by the third generation leaving eastern Europe...sadness

    Instead I study Russian, which was also completely dead by the third generation, but at least native speakers and resources are readily available all over the place. Also, for some reason, when I was a kid my mom made sure I got a start with the language.
