Is that a broadly-accepted opinion? Does it apply consistently to all cultures -- e.g. does it apply when nonwhites move into a white area?
And, does it reflect reality? Do new populations really preserve the prexisting culture in practice?
So, yes, people move into farmland and immediately complain that "Somebody's got to do something about the smell."
As someone involved in private aviation and small airports I can't tell you how many times people move in right next to an airport that has been there for decades and then complain, protest, and threaten legal action against those very airports because the planes are too loud.
I don't think calling the cops and asking them to "shut it down" is a productive way for driving change in the community at all.
Also, completely selfishly, those kinds of actions give the gentrifiers who respect the Tejano community and traditions a bad rap. I really don't want to get to a point where all the long-term residents paint all the newcomers with a broad brush because of the Weaver people. At the beginning of Covid, newcomers were helping elderly long-term residents and vice-versa, but if crap like this keeps happening, those bonds are going to be strained.
I'm not totally sure what you're presuming integrating with a community should involve, but there's a large gap between preserving and - as in here - actively interfering with the preexisting culture of a community.
If you move to an area and expect everyone to adopt your norms, that's close to colonization or conquering.
Alternatively, how do you react to the new person on your team who insists you're doing everything wrong and should change to match their view of the world. "When in Rome, do like the Romans" is good for a variety of reasons.

If you move to a place and don't respect the local traditions or culture, you're making life harder both on yourself and to the existing community. I see no reason why it wouldn't apply every direction.

It largely depends on the societal and cultural homogeneity of the newcomers. If newcomers are largely from the same place or share the same culture, then I'd expect it would be more likely that they'd shift things in their direction.
The best thing about this article is that it's
a.) Black and Latino car enthusiasts, and
b.) Texans who hate "libtards"
finding common cause against white ladies who say "toxic masculinity" with a straight face.
There's a political future hidden in that.
