From people I know and personal observation, you are wrong about ALL ex-pats.

There are good and bad in all groups; natives and late commers.

For example....a whole LOT of people who now live in N.Y. came there from "FLYOVER COUNTRY" and are THE rudest, most liberal, nasty people I have EVER seen.

Oh, I know that. CA and NY have long been like magnets, drawing in the weirdies, homos, and degenerates from flyover states who didn’t feel comfortable or welcome in their home vicinities. I loved that dynamic. Worked for a good half-century. It helped cleanse my favorite states of much of the riff-raff, improving them all the way.

However, the reverse has been hell.

Yup.
