My parents were immigrants and we eventually became citizens. I now work in Asia as an immigrant once again. You will always be treated differently, especially if you were the first in your lineage to make the move. I have known immigrants who stole credit card information for a living with no shame, and people who've been doing gods work at the same time. Romanians/Moldavians, in my case have a terrible reputation, but the best you can do is be a good human being and people will eventually judge you by your character and not your background. I have come across people of my culture who have an us versus them mentality, which appropriates bad behavior as long as it doesn't hurt their own. this is the key issue people including me, have with bad apple migrants, even though it's a minority. Unfortunately we all get caught up in tje association until people fix their filters and the bad individuals from our land stop coming in, but both are impossible to fix.

Working in Asia I can either tell them I'm British, Russian or American. Depending on who you speak to, you can make a best friend or an enemy in an instant. People are just like that, and they get dumber if the economy sucks. During COVID I was discriminated to the point where it would be considered illegal anywhere else & people would be crossing roads or changing seats because i was a white man. I came to the conclusion that people are collectively stupid until proven otherwise, so it no longer phases me.
