Since you brought Bangladeshis into it, my experience with those that came to the US (mostly for graduate studies) (all guys):
1. They complain that they have to cook
2. They complain that they have to do laundry.
3. They complain they have to iron their clothes.
4. They complain they have to tidy up the apartments.
5. They mostly care about sports, movies, and if they're not religious, getting drunk. Of course, that's not necessarily true for those that go to top universities for their PhDs, but those are the minority, in any case.
6. They boast about how great it was that they didn't take humanities in their undergrad. Talking to them, it's also clear they have little understanding of the arts.
I've also met some very responsible, intellectual Bangladeshis.
