Those expatriate communities are ex-patriate to the old country for a reason. Mainly because they hate the idea of being immigrant communities in the new one and the lesser PERCEIVED status they think those communities enjoy. The nostalgia doesn't grant them a place in the old identity though, and trying to gift that identity to kids who never had it is cultural theft.

If they do want to return, as new immigrants, then they are welcome to do so. As immigrants.

You keep wanting to make this personal, I'm interested in why? Other than strawmanning, of course.

The vehemence of your position strikes me as personal. It seems so completely detached from and unwilling to engage with the actual realities of immigration and diaspora, and it seems like the most likely explanation for that is that you have some kind of argument - whether in reality or in your head - with some diaspora population.

If they do want to return, as new immigrants, then they are welcome to do so. As immigrants.

"They're a bunch of traitors who deserted us and left us behind and have nothing to do with us but of course they're welcome back", huh?

It is easier to argue against a strawman, isn't it. You set up the terms and definitions, and then rail against someone for not meeting them. Class act, fella.

what part of your position am I mischaracterizing?
