I agree with this - as long as opportunity exists for the next generation they tend to blend in pretty well with the dominant culture. If people do remain ghettoized, then assimilation is less likely.
My neighbours are from Pakistan - they maintain a few of the traditions for sure, but the mother and the daughter, while they wouldn't be caught dead wearing a track suit with the word "juicy" written across the ass, also no longer wear hijabs except to more formal occasions (i.e., weddings, etc).
