Which diasporic immigrant communities seem to have created a strong or distinct identity in their host country? (Lebanese)

My thread on the St. Patrick's day celebration in Ireland in the Europe forum got a lot of commentary that Irish-Americans are really different from Irish themselves and have made their own distinct community.

In which diasporic communities do you think the diaspora has made a distinct culture (or mark on their host culture) that is very distinct from the country they arrived from?

It seems Irish-, Jewish- and Italian- Americans are so distinctly American in their culture that few would confuse it with their Old World mother countries', if they are familiar with both.

Of course, African-American and other African-descended peoples in the New World (such as the Caribbean or Brazil), (could be counted although their diaspora is from slavery and forced migration) are definitely this way as their culture is so distinctly removed from Africa, but also uniquely contributed to their host countries cultures or celebrations.

What about overseas Chinese and Indian communities? Britain seems to have made a distinct Indian-British culture, but it seems like Chinese and Indian communities get tied more to the traditions they carried from China and India, though it would be interesting to hear how they differ. Of course, I am not familiar with places outside those where such immigrants are newer, so it probably could be the case in places where they were longer, such as the Caribbean or South east Asia.

Middle eastern communities are young in many countries, but the Lebanese diaspora has been around for quite a long time, not just in places like the US or Australia but in places like Argentina and Brazil so I am curious about if their culture overseas differs much from their host countries and their mother country.
