There’s also this level of like, still identifying as being primarily of the country they’re from, like a rejection of assimilation into the place they’ve moved to. I’m not saying that’s inherently good or bad, but, it’s an interesting dynamic, and an option that a lot of immigrants don’t have.

    an option that a lot of immigrants don’t have.

    Especially when a lot of the same type of people will throw a fit if an 'immigrant' doesn't do everything they can to assimilate.

    Because these people think they are "better". So when a wild barbaric immigrant shows up, they want that person to assimilate, but when they move among the unwashed lower folks, they don't want to assimilate themselves, because it would be a step down in their eyes.

    (I am talking about their view, which I very much despise, just as a clarification)
