People import culture all the time. Most dishes of the Italian cuisine involve tomatoes which weren't there before contact with the Americas. In India spicy food wasn't really same without chilli peppers!
Just be honest. It's not about culture, it's just that some people don't like other people that come from other lineages and appear different to us.
No matter how you adapt and fit in you'll always be unwelcome by some people, just because you shouldn't have come in the first place!
People rationalize around details all the times but ultimately it boils down to this: for some there is a double standard; you're either full-blood American, French, Italian, whatnot or you just should shut up and perhaps "we can put up with you, if you behave.". If an American, French, Italian commits crime in his country, well that unfortunate but ultimately "he's a good boy, who went astray".
