Come naturally to her is probably right since these local "idiosyncrasies" have been going on for quite a long time with very little outside influence. After a conversation that I had with a fellow and his wife last week, it finally hit me that most european countries have such idyllic little towns because the rules are so strict. No outsiders allowed to move in and become residents unless they are willing to jump huge financial and social hurdles. Even then it is nearly impossible.

Europeans live in homogenous societies where they feel safe and secure.

Our nation encourages a much easier immigration policy so the people born and raised here have an advantage when it comes to assimilation. I'd imagine that would make a lot of people from other countries uncomfortable.
