Answer 2

Why do native speakers of English keep on making the same mistake: "there" instead of "their", with an I ? Gee, you really need some foreigners to teach you how to write in your own language!
Now, the answer to your question: because the USA (I believe that you are from the USA) is made of people from all over the world. Your ancestors came from another continent. The majority of the Americans, the real ones, the so called "Indians" (Columbus's mistake, you know that, don't you?) were killed by your ancestors and their religion was replaced with yours, but they didn't have Yahoo!/Answers in those times to ask them why they were doing that.
Just one more thing. You would do the same if you had to live in another country: look for your kind and stay with them.
Have a nice day!

Answer 3

Look at it another way. When Brits go abroad (say, to Spain) many choose to eat English food at an English pub while reading an English newspaper just before the football comes on TV - usually an English Premiership match. The same people also avoid resorts that are known to be frequented by Germans / Dutch / Swedes etc.

Answer 4

It is perfectly natural! What about the workplace, where the jocks stand around and discuss last night's game, while the news junkies discuss the headlines? What about the kids who like a certain kind of music hanging out and dressing the same? It's natural. That's what people do. Eventually, people can grow to trust and feel comfortable with those who look or sound different from them, but it takes time and it also takes the will to do it. It doesn't happen without effort.

Answer 5

Many people don't come over here to "socialize" and "mix" with other cultures. They come here not because they don't enjoy their own culture but because the economy in their own countries aren't as good as America's and it's out of their control. If they could, they'd stay in their own countries if their economies were more stable.

It is also because base on the definition of America, this country is the mixture of all cultures, religions, races, etc. etc.

Answer 6

Foreigners sometimes feel lonely and rejected when they live in a new country. I was once a foreigner living in a new country so I can understand why people behave this way. I wanted to make friends with the indigenous people but sometimes I felt that people didn't have much patience with someone who couldn't speak their language fluently. Also, sometimes the attitude of the indigenous people can vary from indifferent to hostile and this doesn't help foreigners to appreciate the culture of their adopted country. By hanging out with people from their own ethnic background, they get a sense of security and identity. Also, for practical reasons, they are more likely to get help, support and sympathy from their own people. I think the indigenous people can help foreigners to adapt to life in the host country and to integrate with the mainstream culture by befriending them and making them feel welcome. If you are interested in them as a person and not see them as just another foreigner, they will be grateful and they will treasure your friendship. I think you could always do your part to make people feel welcome and encourage them to see the culture of their host country in a positive light.

Answer 7

I like the way you haven't specified what country you are talking about because it could be about USA,Britain,France,India,South Africa,Bermuda,Brazil-yes anywhere in the world. You have to stop thinking your country is YOURS. It's a big a s s world and the quicker we all get along the better it will be for everyone.

Answer 8

If they come to Britain they should be prepared to mix into British society with British people.
Britain, unfortunately, is not a multi-cultural society - it is a society with many multi-cultural divides. It is too late now to change this, the damage has already been done.

First of all people find security within their own comunities. Its like if you out somewhere and join a group of people who you just don't know but you find some one you familiarise with, you'll feel at ease with them and tend to spend most of your time with that person/people.

In answer to their place of worship, you can't expect them to go to a place of worship of another faith just as you would not do that as you would find your self feeling that your are denying your own faith. But then to build so many places of worship is wrong too. It causes further segragation. And this is also true of the chritian faith as certain groups will go to their certain church and cause they are familiar with that church they identify themselves with it and feel more secure to be with that church.

People should learn to integrate into the communities in which they live and the host should not be ignorant too, and should also be accepting of their guests as well. Each community should learn from one another.

I Know that being born here I can identify with all groups and I am not quick to judge and feel comfortable with a alien community/group of people. However with my Indian culture I must say I feel more comfortable with asians than I do with other groups as I feel secure with the people I familiarise with. Its like I don't have to deal with that slight ignorance that comes from other communities. I am not talking just white british nationals. I get more awkwardness from my pakistani friend as I am a Hindu.

So its just a way of life that people get on with lives and survive knowing there are familiar people around them and they are not singled out. I suppose they feel 'normal'.
