Those Christian Arabs that migrated to Latin America, the USA, and Australia are socially quite different from the Muslim Arabs/Turks etc that dominate Europe. I bet lots of people in Australia think of those second/third gen Lebanese as just White Australians?
While a second generation Turk is often always makes it clear he/she is a Turk and not a local. Muslims are much harder to integrate in the West.
The Arab population in Australia is seen as four waves.
1. The old Maronites that came in the early 20th Century. Many have basically become White Australians, while some are just Australianised Arabs that still practice cultural norms.
2. The 1970s Lebanese. These were predominantly Muslims and the largest group to arrive. They fled the civil wars. It took these guys a few decades but they’ve managed to integrate fully while maintaining their culture and religion.
3. The post 1990s Arabs. These are more diverse groups. Iraqis, Syrians, Jordanians, Egyptians etc. Somalis and North Sudanese are generally included in this group.These guys have mainly just followed the aforementioned groups blueprint to varying success. Some groups have succeeded and others haven’t.
4. The post-Syrian civil war migrants. Almost exclusively Syrian, most young university students and young families. Jury is still out on these guys.
Out of all the religious Muslim groups, the Lebanese are probably the most integrated. That’s also because they spent the longest time here.
