I don't like the culture of my native country , is that weird?

Asked by suzanna28 (684points) August 31st, 2011

I prefer to hang out with people of other cultures. All my close friends are from other countries.

Do you know anyone like that.

I think it might be because most of my family migrated to America and integrated into American society i.e a land of immigrants.
I just don’t feel a huge connection to my native country.

However I often meet alot of people that prefer to stick to their own kind. I actually find them to be strange. I just think your world is more exciting when you expose yourself to other cultures and people.

I think it might also have something to do with the fact that I am from a mixed background as well. I guess I don’t know what it is like to be from one ethnicity and one culture.

What is your opinion? Do any of you (particularly 1st or second generation immigrants) feel the same way ?

I guess sometimes I feel like I would like to have close friends from my native country but I don’t feel like I have alot in common with them anymore. I feel like my way of thinking is different. It is more global and open-minded.
