Answer:
They feel more connected to American culture than their ancestors’ culture.
Explanation:
The first paragraph refers to an American girl of Asian descent. Reading the paragraph, we can see that the girl is not comfortable with her Asian ancestry and is more integrated into American culture. This can be seen from the lines "I have always felt funny using chopsticks and my favorite food is hot dogs."
On the other hand, in the second paragraph, we realize that the girl has Mexican descent, since her grandmother speaks Spanish and the title of the text "Mericanos". The girl feels good about American culture, but is a little uncomfortable with Mexican culture as she responds to her grandmother rudely when speaking in Spanish.
In both paragraphs we can conclude that girls feel more connected to American culture than their ancestors' culture.
