Frankly it's among the most closed-minded and poorly assimilated into their host country expat Lebanese communities I've ever seen, I don't know why. (Lebanese Europeans for instance are the striking opposite).
I think this was true for the first and second generations but the current crop of lebonese kids I am seeing in highschool and university are thoroughly assimilated. We have had a couple of mixed Leb/Australian and Syrian/Australian mixed state politicians over the last few years.
