I feel like I’m really “American” when I’m in Pakistan but amongst Pakistanis here, I feel very very Pakistani. My morals/values/behavior are fairly moderate and I seem to be unable to identify well with a majority of Pakistanis at home and abroad.

Yeah good point!

I know some guys who were also born here but their parents came from Pakistan, their not that different from your typical American person in their age group, the only difference is they are Muslim and go to a mosque instead of a church or Synagogue. Some are religious, some are not religious, some are in the middle etc..but I would say their overall behavior and way of talking is pretty much American.
