1. Ignores age of entry: children who arrive at young age with parents may feel more like 2nd generation
Criticism of traditional assimilation model
2. Ignores race:
Does not accurately describe experiences of non-European groups in America.
3. Ignores choice:
Voluntary versus involuntary entrance (slavery) effect likelihood of following the 3 generation model
4. Ignores group size, concentrations, and time of entry
5. Ignores similarity between the cultures
Criticism of traditional assimilation model
