You represent what the problem with Americans tend to be. You assume that your culture and philosophy is the best, and then start to hate how all the locals hate you and blame it on their culture. Southern Europe and much of Asia has had inter-ethnic/inter-racial immigration for thousands of years and have developed their own ways of how ethnic groups live side by side and integrate/merge together.

parent comment didn't say that it's the best, but it's obviously the easiest for the modern digital nomad. in most other places integration probably happened over timespans of several centuries.

check the history of germans outside of germany. they lived in places for centuries and never integrated at all, but kept to themselves, except in the US.

in asia today foreigners are not expected to integrate at all. nor in africa. they will always stand out, and yes, maybe through intermarrying in a few centuries some will have integrated. but there is no place like the US where you can effectively integrate from day one if you have an open mind. i have lived in all these places so i speak from my own experience.

Where can I read about this, about other sorts modes of integration?

Read up on the history of immigration to Europe, Africa and Asia. You act as if the US is the only place where immigration has ever happened.

I was wondering if you recommended any specific texts or resources.
