Connor on YouTube just did a video showing the Han moving massively into Ireland, then turning English over time, and it echoes my experience as an expansionist Transvaal with multiculti importing a bunch of Indian peoples into central Africa and having them increase the Boer population of those states from near 0% to 20% as they "assimilate" into a culture that isn't present.
Basically, assimilation currently goes into the official state culture, no matter what. Makes sense under cultural exclusion and worse: the schools will push kids to adopt the state culture. Under multiculti though, you'd expect schools to teach language and culture of whatever large local groups are around, regardless of the homeland or state culture.
So, I'd expect my Gujarati immigrants to a multicultural Transvaali Uganda to start speaking Bantu, not Afrikaans. And I'd expect the Han plurality in Connor's Leinster to start assimilating small immigrant groups, rather than becoming English.
