Wiki - The paradox of tolerance states that if a society is tolerant without limit, its ability to be tolerant is eventually ceased or destroyed by the intolerant. Karl Popper described it as the seemingly self-contradictory idea that in order to maintain a tolerant society, the society must retain the right to be intolerant of intolerance.

      Apparently YOU do not know the second definition of assimilate, and the one many, MANY people take as the primary meaning. Do not fail to communicate simply because you want to be a pedant. Grow up.

      If I meant the basic, “understand culture” definition, I would’ve said “understand culture” to avoid the second definition of assimilate. Do not assume I am using the more generic meaning when the more specific one makes perfect sense

      It makes it look like you don’t know why specific words are used over others.
