However, you almost seem to separate the two. I would posit that the inferiority with which they are viewed makes them lose that cultural identity. The description of what they must go through at customs is a dehumanizing process that illustrates the feelings of the colonizer towards the colonized. For example, to question the legitimacy of the children contends that the culture these people come from would see nothing wrong with deception, and if we are not talking of citizenship, then sexual promiscuity. The whole process feels that England is actively attempting to keep the immigrants out, which would be an obvious communication of a view of cultural inferiority towards the immigrant, which would only weigh upon that person with time.Justin Lyonshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08041090940908616351noreply@blogger.com
