    Patterson argued that ethnic minorities who move to a new country will eventually assimilate by forgetting their original ethnic identity and fully immersing in the new country's culture. However, Johal and Bains found that some, like British Asians, have dual identities where they behave differently with friends, family, or at school, sometimes adopting a "White mask" to fit in. They also suggested people can code switch by behaving differently with friends versus family.

    Assimilation

    Patterson who argued that eventually ethnic


    minorities that move to this country will
    assimilate, this means they will forget their
    original ethnic identity and become fully
    immersed in the culture of the host country.
    White mask
    Johal and Bains found what they termed ‘dual
    identities’ where for instance British Asians
    (Brasians) have a number of different identities
    depending on who they are with: friends, family
    or at school and often adopted a ‘White mask’
    so they could ‘fit in’. Johal and Bains also
    suggested that young people can ‘code switch’
    where an individual behaves one way with their
    friends and another with their family.
