“To be an immigrant, good or bad, is about straddling two homes, whilst knowing you don't really belong to either.”

“Integrate well. Move upwards in society. Be praised â€� until people worry that you’re doing too well, and then they remember that you’re foreign." (from "The Good Immigrant" by Nikesh Shukla)”

“Musa Okwonga, the poet, journalist and essayist whose powerful ‘The Ungrateful Countryâ€� closes the book, once said to me that the biggest burden facing people of colour in this country is that society deems us bad immigrants â€� job-stealers, benefit-scroungers, girlfriend-thieves, refugees â€� until we cross over in their consciousness, through popular culture, winning races, baking good cakes, being conscientious doctors, to become good immigrants. And we are so tired of that burden." (from "The Good Immigrant" by Nikesh Shukla)”
