Final answer:

The main difference lies in assimilation theory seeking integration and cultural pluralism emphasizing ethnic identity retention, with cultural pluralism better describing the adaptation experiences of American ethnic groups.


Explanation:

Anglo-conformity perspective (assimilation theory) aims for complete integration into mainstream American culture, often referred to as the 'melting pot' metaphor. On the other hand, the cultural pluralism perspective advocates for retaining ethnic identity while adopting American ways, known as the hyphenated American concept.

The cultural pluralism perspective better describes the adaptation experiences of American ethnic groups as it recognizes the value of maintaining ethnic identities alongside embracing American culture. This approach fosters diversity, multiculturalism, and respects different cultural perspectives and values.
