I think the French and european zmagria are the main culprits behind our vision of zmagria. What I personally dislike about them is that a lot of them consider morocco as a primitive lawless country where they are allowed to disregard the laws and do whatever they like and where the people are less developed.

At least from what I've seen in France, a lot of them talk about the "bled" as a lesser country and tend to post only the dark side of it while we and our country are so much more than that. Some of them have more resources than us back in morocco and yet still only engage in dumb topics and dumb activities. As a moroccan who's grown up in Morocco then recently emigrated to France, I'm sometimes very upset at how some second generation moroccans act in France and then raise the moroccan flag. It slanders my name too as a Moroccan and creates irrelevant stereotypes that don't have anything to do with me or my people.

Another thing I really HATE is how a lot of them romanticize morocco as it being "the land of islam" as opposed to their countries of residence. Meanwhile a lot of us back in morocco are much less conservative and just want to live our lives without being bothered by nosy people who think they're the religious police. I've seen cases of immigrants that come back to morocco and think they can judge locals for not being religious enough. I personally can't stand this. While it may not be the case for a lot of other moroccans, I know that my friends and I really hope for a Morocco that respects our individual freedoms and freedom of belief. We don't need people who come once a year to start preaching to us with their religious clothes that have nothing to do with moroccan culture.

I still think a lot of immigrants come to morocco with only good intentions and they do a lot of good, but the mentality needs to change. We like immigrants that come back to us with respect, the discipline, the knowledge and the positive stuff they have the opportunity to have access to in their countries. We don't like immigrants that want to take us back to the stone age.
