After getting back from Thailand I realized America is very different in some regards. There are a lot of countries you can move to and become a citizen but the people wont ever see you are truly one of them. For example, Thailand, Japan, Korea, Sweden, Norway are all great places to live but you wont really become “one of them”. In America and Canada if you are a citizen you are seen as one of us waaaaay more so than almost anywhere in the world, this makes us stop at “im american” or “im canadian” because we accept it but other places just see things differently culturally l.
Yup this is why I always tell people. If you want to migrate move to the US. I have a friend who are Asian but became German. The Germans never see him as one of them. He said he will always an outsider.
He didn't became german, he got german citizenship.
German is a nationality and an ethnicity that goes back thousands of years. You don't magically become a german because you live there 7 years.
You'll be downvoted for the truth. I'm an immigrant and I can totally understand what you're saying
