First of all, I don’t get their jokes… they laugh about everything… stuff thats not even remotely funny

I’ve never gotten any negative vibes from them as far as acceptance is concerned and I’m good at conversations and all, but I don’t really feel comfy just hanging out with them … their way of life and culture is sooo different from ours.

MIAinVA it’s such a relief to hear that. I thought that was just me. at work I often felt this but thought I’m just too slow to get their jokes. LOL.

As for integrating, I think it depends on how much effort you make and how you present yourself. I think generally the white people are acceptive of us, but I think the question of where you’re from is one they still like to ask. :aq:
Also I think if you’re ok with your limits and culture they do respect that. At uni I have all English friends and they know I’m a hijabi, don’t drink alcohol, pray etc and they find it really interesting and are really acceptive of it even though all of them had grown up in very English communities.Alhumdolilah.

I’ll never be fully integrated. The country I live in is just too freakish for me to get fully integrated.

I am integrated in the sense that I contribute to the society as an individual and thats about it.

Well that’s awesome! At least your doing your part to integrate and not abusing the system.
