Mark Richardson on Civic Nationalism

Part 1 (See also his chapter on nation and ethny.)

In a comment he writes:

A people is not just a culture. There are Americans who think that all that matters is if the Anglo or Euro culture survives - it doesn't matter if actual Anglos/Euros disappear from view.


This assumes, first, that you can have a culture minus the people who created it.

Can there be long-lasting assimilation without a significant rate of intermarriage between members of the "majority" and the immigrant "minority"?
