Immigrants reject whichever identity fails their inclusion or differentiation needs

Evidence

The concept of dueling identities is captured most clearly among the category of separated and assimilated immigrants. These individuals have chosen to move or stay close to one identity and forsake the other. Again, there may be a multitude of reasons for why these individuals have chosen one identity over the other, but one possible interpretation originates with the needs for inclusion or differentiation: separated immigrants perceive the superordinate identity as being too inclusive and thus they reject that identity in favor of their subgroup identity, and assimilated immigrants perceive their subgroup identity as lacking inclusiveness (perhaps they have emigrated from a country for which no community exists in their new culture) and thus they reject their subgroup identity and assimilate fully to their new culture. — Roderick M.
