Research shows that immigrants tend to bring their prejudices with them, adopting the anti-immigrant sentiments of their new hosts. Middle-class immigrants may fear a loss of status. Others simply seek to distinguish themselves from a stigmatised group.

      This is so obviously not true, how did it get so many upvotes? There are so many counterexamples. The only “fundamental part” of human nature is that humans are adaptable to different environments, including our shitty racist society.

      This is borderline misanthropic too, which is cringe as hell

      But even the terminology suggests you’re coming from a lower place. So wouldn’t it make sense that the people from the place you’re coming from have some responsibility for the state it was in. Like how right now we’re seeing a decline in American culture and increase in corruption. It was voted in by Americans. So if Americans were to all of a sudden immigrate to say Canada to get away, wouldn’t they fucking hate it if other Americans who voted for Republicans start following them because of the opportunity.

      This is nothing more than a thought terminating cliche. As such, it’s completely worthless.

      Edit: lol…funny how y’all talking about…nothing at all ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
