I don't agree with assimilating into mainstream askenazi Judaism, as far as our own minhagim goes. In every other way though. It's way worse in America, literally different communities within Iranian Jews don't mix (tehrani-meshadi!) let alone with non-Iranians! But ye I do wonder when the steams goona run out? How much longer can you keep your parents traditions? Nah I’d say the different safardi perspective, culture, minhag-whatever…is very very valuable.
