There is a flip side of it too again from Wikipedia:

Fresh off the boat (often abbreviated as F.O.B., FOB,
F.O.T.B., FOTB, fobbish, freshie,boat,fobster, or fobbie)
is a slang phrase applied to people of foreign
nationality who have arrived in a host nation as
tourists, immigrants, students, or, most commonly,
[citation needed] as work permit applicants. The term is
commonly applied to Eastern and Southern Pacific Asians,
as well as South Asians, in the United States, Canada and
Australia, as well as to Pacific Islanders in Australia
and New Zealand. It was originally applied to European
immigrants to America who had just stepped off of ship.
[citation needed]
The term is commonly used when immigrants from a foreign
nation have not yet assimilated the host nation’s
culture, language, and behavior. Note that assimilation
to the host nation’s culture is not a certainty; there
are historical examples of a foreign nation assimilating
a host nation (ex. Sinicization or Romanization). The
five pillars that are commonly associated with being a
“FOB” are fashion, social preferences (i.e. cultural
activities, cuisine, and religious practices), behavior
toward others, knowledge of multiple dialects, and
accents.
In the sociology of ethnicity, this term can be seen as
an indicator of a nature of diasporic communities, or
communities that have left their country of origin and
have migrated, usually permanently, to another country. A
split can occur in such communities between those who
have assimilated or acclimated in their host countries
and those who still cling to their native culture. The
usage of “FOBs” is often used by the former group to
differentiate themselves from the latter. Often this
difference is a result of a generation gap, where the
sons and daughters of immigrants born and immersed in the
culture of their host country develop an identity
distinct from their parents or recent immigrants.
The term also has been adapted by immigrants themselves
or others in their community who instead see the
differentiation as a source of pride, where they have
retained their culture and have not lost it to
assimilation. In some instances, people who have
assimilated or acclimated into their host country still
identify themselves as a “FOB” to show they have not
assimilated completely.
