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've often wondered why we have an Irish celebration with a parade every year in NYC, and why do we dye the river green in Chicago, each St. Patty's Day? Are these a religious celebration or a heritage/nationalism celebration?
Why do those that have never been to Italy nor even speak Italian and were born and raised in Brooklyn, call themselves "Italian-American"-- Why are there no days celebrating English heritage?--- why do I hear no one claiming to be English-American? Why the differences within our own society? (singular) Do some suffer from feeling inferior and must identify with a culture other than their current environment?
