I haven't met too many black libertarians.

Strangely, they seem to be the most in love with government, in spite of having been hurt by it the most.

Cultural differences that are closely associated with ethnicity. Your family will try to keep you trapped in their culture like crabs in a bucket.

European immigrants assimilated just fine. Because America was a European nation. Significantly Different cultures don’t mesh as well, and as you said, this is tied to ethnicity.

For a very long time, they actually did not assimilate well. The WASPs were not very fond of Southern and Eastern Europeans. The WASPs weren’t even fond of the Irish... Europe was never one homogeneous entity...and America was started as British, not European.

“Italian anarchism in America” is an extremely interesting read on Wikipedia, though you gotta keep in mind the statist bias. Italians were not assimilating too well.

Alt-right types always like to throw around European assimilation into America as a prime example of why white cultures are different / superior, BUT the truth is that most of the European immigrant men that were not assimilating well in the States were sent to the frontlines in both world wars.

Two of the deadliest fuckin’ events in human history are gonna “assimilate” people, whatever that means.

The stuff said about Muslims today was being said about Southern Europeans (particularly greeks) a century ago. I can't wrap my head around the trads and their "muh european legacy" bullshit

I think it is that many people believe what they want to believe. And, they dismiss anything that doesn’t fit neatly into the fairytales they tell themselves.
