It seems to be a common occurrence in cultures everywhere that a diaspora emphasizes cultural values of the country of origin. I think there are different motivations behind it, but from experience it seems to be a fact. Only happens if there is a critical amount of people that share these roots though, otherwise they seem to drop their culture almost completely. In my country it is pretty common for Turks and Russians to live in separate communities if they are concentrated in an area, especially if that isn't urban, but it can happen there too. I believe the motivation can range from pride to a bad conscience of having better living conditions or a feeling of having left their former countrymen behind. And probably a lot of other reasons.
