This is my response when people imigrate to the USA then condemn this place or people for whatever reason. If you don't like it, you are free to leave. If you feel you can constructively improve it, then make the effort. There is always room for improvement.
While agreeing with most if it, I have to point out a few things here:
You can learn a language, but you cannot change your accent easily especially if you learn the language in the middle age and later.
Some people have bias against what they are not familiar with, they just don't like people that are different regardless of how people blend in. We have enough people in the US complaining about minorities that were born here and are part of the culture (although the major group think that they are the only correct culture). What makes you think it will be a fair judgement on foreigners that are doing everything already?
While I believe most people will be rational about it, I have seen enough ridiculous nut case on both sides to believe that foreigners will always be treated fair and just by everyone. To be fair that is the same the other way around too.
On BITOG I've seen post about:
1) Irish parents think their children have no self respect dating people with dark complexion
2) People thinking jobs should be reserved for the "more American" local born citizen vs the one naturalized, "just because"
