I guess you're not familiar with the stereotype of the "whinging Pom". It's a stereotype because it's often true. And the usual response is "well, if Britain was so much better, why are you here?" They're obviously here because Britain wasn't better. But they still trash talk the country that allowed them in. (Weetabix was an example, not the limit of the complaining). If I moved to the UK, after 40 years I'd let go of the fact that my home country's coffee (for example) is so much better, because I've obviously chosen to spend four decades in the UK because I find it better than my country. To repeat myself, it's the mindset. If, after four decades, you're still comparing the country you've moved to unfavorably to your home country, then your mindset isn't one of integration. It's one of colonialism. |
