The difference is immigrants don't come to America to shed their motherland's culture. America is a country made of immigrants. Unless you're native, your family's custom and culture came from somewhere overseas. Even cacs that are 15 generations removed from Europe know how many eigths German and Irish and Italian they are and what influence that has on their family culture here in America.

The Chinese that moved the Caribbean very rarely moved back.

I bet if you talk to a Chinese looking Jamaican they just think themselves as Jamaican.
But what does that have to do wit a mixed person who wants to learn more about where their family comes from. Its still part of their roots.

It also helps give more understanding of those family members. People generally are pleased when you show interest in their culture/history. Embracing your present doesn't mean you have to neglect your history.
