> They lack the egalitarianism and conscientiousness of Anglo Americans
I'm sorry, but egalitarianism is not a trait I would attribute to Anglo Americans. America is a very selfish nation, built on selfish ideals. You'll have communities that aren't, but they aren't Anglo Americans: it's mostly germano-americans, maybe Acadians, or Swedish/Norwegian late immigrants communities. And probably Sikhs recent immigrants, although I'm not sure about that.
I think it is important to distinguish between individualism vs. collectivism and selfish vs. altruistic. Egalitarian ideals are something different again. The US is highly individualistic. The founding documents are explicitly egalitarian.
Those two things aren’t in contradiction. Egalitarianism refers to equality of opportunity regardless of social class: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Egalitarianism. That’s distinct from believing everyone has a communal responsibility to take care of each other.
E.g. Desi culture is communal—people lean on each other for support. But it’s not egalitarian—social class, family reputation, and even birth order are important in social interactions. I have cousins that married above their league because our family reputation carries weight back in our town. Americans by contrast are not communal. The difference is especially stark within extended families, where the bonds of mutual support are very weak. But they are egalitarian. Nobody cares about your family reputation.
Egalitarianism is one of the things that makes America so attractive for immigration. Immigrants by definition have no spot in established familial hierarchies. In a society where that matters, immigrants can’t get to the top.
