It's what NORMAL people do when they go to live in a foreign country. It's what the people of the host country expects out of foreigners. What part of this don't you get??

You can't be living in America. Beyond FOBs, everyone assimilates here. Regardless of race, you can tell in 3 minutes if the guy has been in the states long. I'm not saying the races interacted a lot, America is not a melting pot. But, beyond skin color, everyone here is the same: hair styles all the same, clothing style is the same, people all act the same, they talk about the same news. Skin color is the only thing that stands people apart.
