It stands to reason that they would integrate reasonably well as their culture is often a hybrid of European and Middle Eastern. Most of their schools for example were created by religious groups and orders that originated in Europe (or local religious groups that spun off from European religious bases), and so this has had a tremendous influence that has been passed down through the generations.
