I...kind of understand the 'You don't get' bit, tbh. Where I'm from there's a very real feel for that when it comes to transplants because, more often than not, they have some pretty odd - and usually insulting - ideas about the place that they'll 'justify' with the flimsiest of things [Think 'That person just cut me off! Everyone whose from here must really be assholes!'], or just never bother to break out of their transplant bubble and actually *meet* the natives and assume that because...of um. Reasons?

So yeah - I can understand that attitude, though if you grew up there then it's a little weird.

Also, to clarify - I'm not saying that means you shouldn't write something set there. Personally, if you want to then I say go for it! Just do your research and make sure you have an idea of what you're talking about when you do it.

Honestly not meaning to start wank here, and I don't know what the OP's situation is, but I was born and raised in my country and I still get treated like an outsider because of where my parents were born. It's my country, but when people treat you like an outsider for long enough, in the end you start to feel like one. I realise that's not what you're talking about (it sounds like your're talking about people who moved to a country at a later age?), but even people who were born somewhere get this treatment sometimes, and it sucks.

I can't speak for that because, for where I live, if you were *raised* here then you aren't generally treated like an outsider unless you go out of your way to come off like one. It's only people who are obvious transplants who get that treatment. I also ask you to bear in mind that most people aren't actually unfriendly, or anything - just particularly wary [we're...a very friendly place so it's a noticeable thing] until they get to know you and/or more closed off about talking about somethings.

To add a little context: The assumptions I mentioned are usually stuff like 'racist' 'sexist' 'stupid' and 'completely backwards' and the majority of people here have gone through someone assuming those things when someone not from here first met them. I don't know if it really explains it, but that's a large part of why it happens here.
