NHW seem to have discarded intergenerational living except in extreme housing/family distress. For everyone else, it's pretty normal, like in the rest of the world. My wife still can't wrap her head around the strong likelihood that our son is gone from our home forever once he's 18.
Is the split really NHW vs. "non-Hispanic,non-white" vs. assimilated to Anglo-American (perhaps some would say old school WASP) norms vs. not?

Like would "white ethnics" (e.g. Jewish, Italian, Polish, Greek etc.) resemble the non-whites in this way culturally more? It's still a trope (e.g. like in My Big Fat Greek Wedding). Common jokes/pop culture/media etc. also put many European ethnic groups more similar to Asian/Hispanic and perhaps even Black stereotypes (e.g. very familial oriented, full of family drama, big households, grandmas want grandkids etc. etc.) than WASP ones. But how true is this?
