Do you live in the US? I guess so. Do you speak English? I assume you don't have anyone there translating everything you say all the time.
Yes i do

Now, do your parents speak English? Or is it that in general the first generation has it hardest?
Very little after many years.

Then, do Latins of the second generation speak English? Do they go to US schools, learn American history, English language, make friends with locals and therefore learn American culture.
Yes, they do but they are not American at all, they do not conform to any culture, they dont care, most speak their own language. The Hispanics are making sure their culture doesnt die, we are not doing the same.

At the same time at home they speak Spanish, eat what their family has always eaten, celebrate Christmas, Easter and other holidays the way they would if they were home?
Yes, the Hispanics are defending their culture now and will do so in another 5 generations in America. I can safely say that if i stay in America, 5 Generations of my kids wont give a crap about Poland.

Don't you have Polish Christmas? Celebrate namesday? Go to church every Sunday?
Yes I do, but like i said above, a few generations and it goes down the hole.

Perhaps you should answer this question. Is culture about race or about tradition, history, feelings?
Its about BOTH, Everyone has their own culture, and if one person mixed with another person from another culture, will they celebrate everything from each culture? And lets say they do, and their kids do the same with mroe Cultures, 5 generations and they have 64 cultures they have to protect, at that point they would have given up already.
And when immagrants come from Africa they will not become Italian, they will mate with Italian girls though and create offspring who might care about their Italian culture, and then this Halfie offspring mates with another Black and BAM cultures dead.
