No, he just wishes he was. Oh, he might have some document that technically says he is, but in his heart of hearts he knows he isn't and it's killing him. Like a lot of diaspora people with no moorings, he is in desperate search of community.
This tendency expresses itself in the Pakistani diaspora in rather interesting ways. With people from their former homeland, they'll express puritanical religious views and lecture them about how Pakistan's problems are the result of a lack of piousness and dissolute morality - it's a rancidly hypocritical view, considering they abandoned Pakistan because it wasn't to their personal liking. With the whites they wish they were and aspire to be, they'll do a complete 180° turn and preach the virtues of democracy, individualism, personal freedom and choice, etc. It's both funny and sad seeing them try to be more royalist than the king.
