====Sansei====
The third generation of immigrants, born in the United States or Canada to parents born in the United States or Canada, is called ''Sansei'' (三世). Children born to the ''Nisei'' were generally born after 1945. They speak English as their first language and are completely acculturized in the contexts of Canadian or American society. They tend to identify with Canadian or American values, norms and expectations. Few speak Japanese and most tend to express their identity as Canadian or American rather than Japanese. Among the ''Sansei'' there is an overwhelming percentage of marriages to persons of non-Japanese ancestry.<ref name="mclellan37"/>
