It is correct to interpret assimilation of Asian Americans as an absence of protest.

False. The assimilation of Asian Americans does not equate to an absence of protest. While some individuals or groups may assimilate into mainstream culture, many Asian Americans have actively participated in protests and movements advocating for civil rights, social justice, and recognition of their unique identities and challenges. Assimilation can vary widely among individuals and does not necessarily imply a lack of political or social activism.
