Question 2: The Immigrant Experience
For many immigrants in the United States, there are a variety of challenges that are experienced every day as a consequence of either being in a new environment or failing to integrate soon enough into the mainstream American society. Race certainly plays a huge part in determining whether or not the immigrant finds the process of integration easy or much more difficult. However, there are other factors like language, immigration policy, the process of naturalization, the nostalgia of home and the incompatibility of cultural practices (culture shock) that the immigrant has to contend with. The immigrant is much more likely to be faced with great economic challenges that may help drive their stress levels and anxiety through the roof. In her YouTube video (2017), Perez admits that racism (which the immigrant may have to contend with) can lead to a multitude of stressors that can be unhealthy for the mother and unborn child. For the immigrant, the pressure to fit in is always a challenge to contend with. The desire to learn English just so that one can prove that they are true American is an example. This pressure tends to be exerted more on the people from minority races than it is for the White majority. Race then has a lot to do with this type of pressure exertion. The expectation of the mainstream American culture is that the immigrant can integrate soon enough into the norms, practices, values and ideals of the American culture. When for the immigrant this fails to happen, they undergo a lot of stress, and this aspect that the narrator in the YouTube video Stress, Portrait of a Killer (2008) calls an inferno becomes the “scourge of their lives”. Race, culture and cultural expectations are inextricably connected for the immigrant in an attempt to live and get to become an American. They are much more stressed than usual, and their desire to get embraced and accepted too makes the immigrant experience one of the hardest, especially for a person belonging to a minority demographic.
