Immigration

In episode 9 of “Facing Race,” we examine negative stereotypes that immigrants face. In Washington, one in seven people are immigrants. Of that group, 77% are documented, nearly half are naturalized citizens and 38% have a college diploma. We break down what Latinx means, and Mexican American immigrants in Washington share how racism has impacted them. Dr. Jane Lee, an assistant professor at the University of Washington School of Social Work who studies health disparities and immigrant communities, explains how Latino immigrants are coping during the current political climate. East African immigrants in Washington face different challenges and share their perspective on the Black Lives Matter movement.
