Preserving the minority culture doesn't mean eliminating the majority culture or making it "bend" to fit a different set of social constraints. For example, take the example of Muslim girls in schools. They should be allowed to wear headscarves in class if they so wish because it's a matter of putting their cultural beliefs into practice. Nobody else has to wear headscarves, nobody has to believe in Islam, but we permit somebody else to further enact their set of beliefs with no harm to the majority.

I don't think the question is about whether to preserve a minority culture, or force it to assimilate. I think the question is, if there is a conflict between one of the two cultures, and one must change, should the minority culture be the one that is protected? Obviously the answer to this should be no.
