If you only have the one passport you are already a citizen of your country right? So no need to worry as long as you actually respect the local culture.

This is a pretty callous reply.
Why is my need not to worry conditional?
Why is my culture not part “the local culture”? I’ve lived here longer than many so called natives.
You are saying I will never fully belong here, regardless of what I do. And that’s exactly the problem.
I have exactly the same rights as any other citizen, and I expect my right to exist however I well damn please within the confines of the law to be respected.

I am telling you that you belong, as long as you are willing to respect the local culture, traditions and rules.
If you disregard those you will also be disregarded, not because you might be of a different color but simply because you don’t respect others.

Why wouldn’t it be? It’s the same for me, if I won’t behave conforming the local culture&traditions I will also be excluded from that same society. This is not something weird that suddenly came up, this is common sense.

That’s where you are dead wrong. I belong. My traditions are the local traditions. No if. No conditions.
If you don’t like it, try and do something about it.
It’s the same for me,
That’s not what you said back there. But I welcome you trying to walk back your drivel.
