This applies to both Westerners and non-Westerners alike. I was talking to a friend of mine recently, and he was saying that Arabs and South Asians who live in the West (or even in East Africa, in the latter's case) are often rather more traditional, conservative and closed than people in their countries of origin are, especially but by no means exclusively the first generations of immigrants. Conversely, I'd even say this applies to the British overseas too: my impression is that large British (descended) communities in countries like the US, Argentina, South Africa, Australia etc. are often more ethnocentric and socially conservative than people here in Britain itself are.
