To me, it is a sign of disrespect to get a mail order bride from Asia or Eastern Europe, but show utter disregard and disinterest in their culture. I have had SOs who were keen to make Russian food a part of our culinary set, keen to learn a little Russian, and keen to visit Russia with me.
They get women from over there because American women will not give them the time of day. Most of these men see the women as "inferior" and therefore they're big hero studs for "letting" them become Americans. We had a young woman (in her 20s) from the Philippines at the SNF where I worked. Her husband was much older... 50s, at least. Sometimes she would come to work with bruises. She always said that she bumped into something but we suspected differently. We could often hear him screaming at her when he picked her up in the evening after her shift.
