Immigrants
This site is about how immigrants are portrayed and the different ways people talk about them. Immigration is a big part of history and everyday life, but the way immigrants are shown in media, stories, and conversations isn’t always fair or accurate. Sometimes they’re praised for their hard work and contributions, and other times they’re stereotyped or misunderstood. Looking at these portrayals can help us understand how people form opinions and why certain ideas stick around.
Here, you’ll find information, examples, and perspectives that show how immigrants are represented in different contexts. The goal isn’t to tell you what to think, but to give you a chance to look deeper into the messages we see and hear all the time. By thinking about these portrayals, we can start to question where they come from and how they affect the way people are treated.
