"... assimilation is the most extreme form of acculturation. Although assimilation may be compelled through force or undertaken voluntarily, it is rare for a minority group to replace its previous cultural practices completely; religion, food, preferences, proxemics and aesthetics are among the characteristics that tend to be most resistant to change."

-Encyclopedia Britanica
