Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The Matsui family's story is closest to the concept of assimilation, which refers to the process of a minority group adopting the cultural norms of the dominant society. Over time, the Matsui family has adopted English as their primary language and their children are dating non-Japanese students, suggesting that they are integrating into Canadian society. Pluralism emphasizes the coexistence of different cultures within a society, while segregation implies a separation of groups. Miscegenation refers to interracial marriage and is not applicable to the Matsui family's story.
