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.
