Thank You for pointing out the fact that when discussing
migrants, especially non-British migrants people are
sometimes tempted to lump all newcomers together and
treat them as one homogeneous species.
Nothing is further from the truth. Australian immigrants
vary a great deal in their ethnic backgrounds, religions,
and educational levels. Their current social and educational
needs are not homogeneous, either. People have settled in
Australia for various reasons: economic, change of lifestyle,
adventure, refugees, family reunions, and so on.
The early months after arrival in a new country calls for
the greatest adjustment, not only for the migrant, but also
for the local people who interact with the migrant. Since
Culotta's humorous exposure of the problem, the literature
on this topic has been growing rapidly as we know.
