While I find some of the participants very annoying, I can see where they are coming from also. What is fascinating is the interaction between them and the migrants they were placed with. Can't wait for tonight's episode.
In particular, the stories from the African family are similar to those histories I discussed with immigrants I have worked with - in one case a victim of torture was so scarred emotionally that he cannot even bear to be around other black Africans, preferring the company of whites. And people claim they do not understand why other people have to flee their homes.
