There should be more of this kind of thing. People telling their stories.

I read the article/stories, it is interesting and I agree, more of this is needed!

Well it seems there is a strong sort of idea/perception about immigrants. And maybe there are some who fit the stereotype. I don't know. Certainly images from a refugee camp (slum) in Calais are strong stuff....not so much those of a research scientist, or a nurse or a spouse.  But these sorts of things help to show that immigrants are a varied group (groups).

I often think that we as Americans sort of try and blend in quickly - perhaps due to cultural cringe - and probably helped by common social themes, to the point that we become invisible, or maybe camouflaged. So our stories are quiet.

Very interesting stories.  Thank you for sharing the link.

Looks like our very own PlainPearl contributed. I knew that story sounded familiar.

It's titled 'Right king of immigrants'

Well written, PP!
