Books, Catholicism, Food ( born American so I can’t really say there’s much assimilation as my family has already dropped most things including language. I don’t speak the language my aunts uncles parents etc speak in.) Basic things like respect furthermore don’t conflict with American values and as for how to determine which knowledge is mine, experiential takes priority. Other than that, being a different person in two different areas isn’t a problem that needs some sort of correction.
