Assimilation vs. Integration: Will You Ever Truly Fit In as an Immigrant?

The age-old debate enters the group chat: is assimilation or integration the goal? When you move to a different country you will begin to learn that no matter which you choose, you will always be the odd one out. Of course with varying degrees of difficulty (for Lili & Taylor, it's relatively easy BUT they still get to complain), but no matter how hard you try you will never be a native. You will always have an accent.  In this episode we discuss: - What assimilation and integration is - Which ones is better? - The ‘good’ vs ‘bad’ immigrant myth Also, should we have… a Tr\*mp supporter on the pod??
