they are as traditional as children can be, but have no problems with schoolmates because many of them have imported parents as well
I bet the imported parents don't allow their kids to experience all the rot that takes place in our society do they?
I only allow my daughters to wear Dresses.
No pants if I absolutely can help it.
Hell Franco restored the Monarchy. Never thought that would happen did they?
When they arrived here they were separated from the larger mainstream culture by language barriers, so they basically carried on as they had in Spain (as if it was 1950s America).
I wished we still lived in those times. The height of American Civilization if you ask me. (and I was born in 1988!)
I married a Palestinian woman. Best. Decision. EVER!
Middle Eastern Girls in general are so wholesome its wonderful!
“I bet the imported parents don’t allow their kids to experience all the rot that takes place in our society do they?”
Not if they are aware of it, though one disadvantage for newly-arrived immigrants is that they don’t know what is out there (because of the cultural disconnect). They don’t realize that their 12 year-olds will be around other 12 year-olds that look at porn, for example.
“I only allow my daughters to wear Dresses.”
I only have sons; I would find it very hard to cope with a teenage girl. God help you with that (seriously).
“Hell Franco restored the Monarchy. Never thought that would happen did they?”
Well, he took 36 years to do it. He wasn’t a fan of the monarchy, but knew that it would be preferable to democracy without it (the leftist government of 1936, against which the generals had revolted, was legally elected). During his tenure the flag featured a black eagle from which the crown had been removed; he himself was not a monarchist (which had been weak and ineffective leading up to the war).
“I wished we still lived in those times. The height of American Civilization if you ask me. (and I was born in 1988!)”
I think those times are romanticized today in terms of the quality of life/affluence, but it certainly was a more homogenized country (I’m almost 20 years older than you, but I hear a lot about those times from my parents and older co-workers & friends). The left has successfully eradicated a national identity, dividing and conquering what had been fairly united at one point.

Congratulations! Best of luck with your family; may God keep you safe. When I was in college there weren’t many Arab girls; there were some Christian ones but I don’t think many Muslim families would pay the cost of educating daughters in the US (it couldn’t have been cheap). There were a good number of Turkish girls; they came from wealthy families (along with Turkish men whose families sent them to school here for graduate studies to keep them out of the army). The Turkish army, in which service was compulsory, was fighting the Kurds in eastern Turkey at the time. The Arab guys I hung around with always had a problem getting female students to their events/dances because of that imbalance.
All of the Arabs and Turks I met knew how to play chess; I miss those days...
