America is without doubt one of the most culturally diverse countries in the world. In a sense, we are the United Nations. People feel safe coming to the US; we promise freedom, opportunity, and the American dream. However, it seems that many different issues arise out of the diversity that exists in this country. Issues such as language, racism, patriotism, ethnocentrism (of so-called “white America”), and cultural differences all lead to many minorities crying “foul!” Is America really the land of promise? Or is it just a big, fat lie?
This paper is my attempt to sort through the realities and the fallacies of the some of these issues, examining different works which attempt to present a realm of victimization. Are immigrants victimized in American society? Or is it all just a big scheme to attain sympathy and the upper hand in a somewhat challenging corporate society?
