- 14 out of 23 players in the French team had African roots.
- Trevor Noah - a US-based comedian - made a joke about how 'Africa won the world cup' in 2018.
- He received a letter response from the ambassador of France, criticizing the joke he made.

There are 2 main ways in which governments respond to diversity - Assimilation & Integration.

Assimilation refers to a policy in which immigrants are expected to adopt the beliefs and practices of the majority group in the host country.

Objective: no differentiation between immigrants and locals

Integration refers to a policy in which immigrants retain their unique identities, while forging a common ground with groups already living in the host country.

Objective: immigrants and locals are distinct from each other, but share certain common behaviours/characteristics

Watch the video in class to find out how Trevor responded to the letter.

assimilation. because they are expected to follow the French cultures.

# data[].attributes.body
not having the freedom to practice their own cultures

# data[].attributes.body
assimilation because if immigrants do not adapt the beliefs and practices they would be viewed as an outsiderds

# data[].attributes.body
I think they practice assimilation. From what Trevor Noah said in the video , I think that immigrants are expected to do something accepting and of worth of the pure French society to be actually considered a French citizen .

# data[].attributes.body
Assimilation. Based on the video, since the Africans were born in France, educated in France and practiced soccer in France, they are now expected to be French and not African.

# data[].attributes.body
Assimilation because they are expected to be french

# data[].attributes.body
they can have hyphenated identity

# data[].attributes.body
assimilation. The French people view their people as French only

# data[].attributes.body
It will be very hard for immigrants to attain citizenship and this can lead to problems such as having a very negative sense of belonging in France. This also encourages racism and xenophobia towards immigrants.

# data[].attributes.body
The French practice assimilation, as the Africans in the French World Cup team were forced to be Frecnh, instead of being allowed to retain their African identity while remaining French

# data[].attributes.body
Due to this practice, people in France may shun other immigrants for not belong France and might even discriminate them.

# data[].attributes.body
French practices Assimilation because the immigrants who go to France are expected to become fully france with "french in their blood". They would lose their title of their original nationality the moment they get the french citizenship. The foreign immigrants are expected to follow the beliefs and practices which the french do, instead of their own set of beliefs of practices because they are now French and not their original nationality.

# data[].attributes.body
people say that they are not part of the country

# data[].attributes.body
assimilation as they expected africans to adopt the beliefs and practices of the majority group in france

# data[].attributes.body
Assimilation. The players are expected to be French and to adpot their beliefs and practises

# data[].attributes.body
Integration because Singapore does not really have a single main race/nationality.

# data[].attributes.body
Due to assimilation, racism might occur

# data[].attributes.body
Immigrants and other people might not want to become French citizens because of this. Furthermore, the immigrants would lose their own freedom to practice their own culture and beliefs and instead have to follow the French's . The moment they become french, all of their potential success or anything which makes them popular would be classified under french and that they come from France instead of their original country.

# data[].attributes.body
I think Singapore practices integration. Many immigrants are allowed to retain their unique identities and are not expected to follow Singapore's practices and beliefs so as long as they do not harm the people around them.

# data[].attributes.body
assimilation
cuz they expect the black people to follow the culture

# data[].attributes.body
French people might discriminate against immigrants

# data[].attributes.body
It will be extremely difficult for immigrants to attain citizenship without parting with their previous identity. This does not encourage a sense of pride for their country, as the immigrants are forced to adopt the beliefs and practices of the majority group in the host country. It also encourages racism towards those that do not follow those beliefs and practices :(

# data[].attributes.body
assimilation. Based on the video, Trevor Noah says that since they were born and France and are French, they should remember themselves being a french rather than their african roots.

# data[].attributes.body
they cant practice their own beliefs and practices

# data[].attributes.body
racial riots

# data[].attributes.body
People might argue with the immigrants as they might disagree with the immigrants' beliefs and practices.

# data[].attributes.body
it will be harder for migrants to get citizenships and hence cause people to view France as racist

# data[].attributes.body
integration cuz sg is a multi-racial country which means there is a lot of diff race and no main race

# data[].attributes.body
Racism

# data[].attributes.body
Singapore practices Integration, as the citizens are allowed to retain their past identities, while also being Singaporean at the same time.

# data[].attributes.body
Singapore practices integration. For the immigrants who come to Singapore, they are not forced to follow a specific belief or culture and that they could continue to celebrate and practice it through the many festivals in Singapore for the different groups of people. They would still have their element of their original nationality.

# data[].attributes.body
Integration. People can practice their own religions and habits

# data[].attributes.body
Racism ew

integration as immigrants are allowed to retain their unique identities.
