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.

Everyone has their reasons why they’re here, and why they stay here. And especially older people, often have a hard time assimilating. Finally, most people don’t come to the US for the [i]culture[/i].

Doesn’t always mean that they don’t contribute to society and we aren’t better off with them here. Not everyone needs to like everyone or fit in.

About half of the older folks in my wave of immigrants went back around retirement time, maybe more. And they’re a thousand times happier.
