There is a corrolation of those who gravitate towards salafism/lamadhabism and their socio economic background. Vast majority of the salafist in UK tend to be Pakistani (to be more accurate Mirpuri, Jehlami origin) and the bangalis (of shyleti origin).
These two communities are in reality the least sophisticated and untill recently least educated culturally or intelectually. Their children have objected to ritualised and village take on religion and opted for an extreme opposite literalist strain of thinking as a reaction. They have equated anything religious from their home country of origin as alien to Islam. The inferiority complex also fed this attitude and the adherent of the lamadhabist allowed them to justify their unruly,uncultured and somewhat brute view of life under the guise of religion. In essense there is nothing islamic but a shallow slogan of quran and Sunnah less depth.
Allahualam

I've found a different case in the US and Canada. Most of the Salafis/la madhhabis tend to be Arab or Pakistanis/Indians/Bangalis who associate with these Arabs.

the efforts of Tabligh are great in my city so many Pakistani, Indian, and Bangali youth are muqallid to the Hanafi and Shafi madhhabs.
