Have you abandoned your cultural background -or- do you eat Indian food, socialize with other Indians, go to Indian cultural celebrations, speak your native language to family members, heck, ever watched a Bollywood movie?
I reckon you've done most of the latter, yet you can't abide accidentally hearing "East Asians" speaking to each other privately in a non-English language.
This says more about you than the East Asians.

You really think I'd travel half way across the world to socialize with other Indians and watch Bollywood movies, don'tcha?
Ah yes, great deflection. Answering a question with a question.
So then perhaps you moved halfway across the world to pass judgment on other foreigners / immigrants.
Going from hearing strangers speaking a non-English language to assuming they "don't integrate into Western culture" is a huge and presumptive leap.
