Pot, Kettle
The whole "pot calling the kettle black" thing would kinda fit here, except that it's too racist given the context.
As I walked home from the other day, I passed a well-dressed black man on the street outside one of the newly-constructed buildings on the block. He was yelling something in a very thick West African accent.
"Go back to Guatemala or Salvador or wherever!" he yelled, "You don't talk me like that!"
It was a little ironic that the guy with the thick African accent -- presumably, therefore, not born in this country -- was telling someone else who (presumably) was not born in this country to "go home."
I guess the height of assimilation would be when you feel comfortable enough to tell others to "go home," huh?

It is kinda funny, in that I just moved to NH and am already bitching about the drivers here from Mass.
