As an immigrant myself, I constantly find many Americans who were born here MUCH MUCH lazier in general since they didn’t have a hard life growing up.
You see it all the time with privileged wealthier kids expecting fancier things just because they “deserve it”…or, I went to work so I need this bag…I really need the newest iphone (I only get free phones)…

Maybe immigrants work harder – but the US has, on average, a higher GDP per capita than all but about 8 or 10 countries in the world. We rank even higher if you exclude the oil producing countries. How are we making so much more stuff than these other people if we’re so lazy? I think you are falling victim to the attitude being spoofed here: http://www.nbc.com/saturday-night-live/video/arakawa-group/n10192
Overall, I think it’s a perception bias.
