I hate seeing it in people.

“What the son wishes to forget, the grandson wishes to remember.” According to Hansen’s Law, the second generation immigrant tends to sever themselves from the customs and traditions of their ancestors in order to achieve assimilation, but in time the “grandson” will value, that which the “son” wished to forget. What my sentence refers to is, the DESIRE I see in second generation immigrants, to belong to the “right” race.
