Why do immigrants never go back to their country if they're so proud of it?

I met so many Indian Hindu immigrants in Canada and America who are pro Hindu and extremely racist when it comes to dealing with Muslims or blacks. They sneer at Western culture and force people around them to accept their culture. They talk about how 'developed' and 'cultured' their country is at every moment but never have the heart to go back.

I'm assuming you're descended from immigrants. So why didn't your ancestors go back? Or were they ashamed of their countries?

@CountScrofula I am not an immigrant. 😆 But I am planning to move away to another country because I feel I have nothing left in my home country and I can't relate any of my views to my home countries' culture which extremely racist and downright stupidity.

@JBird You're Indigenous?

JBird · F

@CountScrofula yes, but my ancestors converted to Christianity which added more insults from others

@JBird Well in that case my argument is pointless lol. Carry on!

@CountScrofula There are no "Indigenous" people in my hemisphere--- we all migrated here,, some by land bridge, some by ice sheets, some by boat. I was born here, therefore I am a native to the land in which I live. Problem?

@CountScrofula Your "indigenous people" argument was/is a fallacy to begin with. Based on the latest scientific, archeology, and genetic studies, those modern people with the claim of "Native Americans" seems to have not been the first to arrive here.
As politically incorrect as that is to say.
