Opportunity to Win $500 by Participation in Immigration and Racism Issues 2019

The Global Mobility Immigration Lawyers is inviting people from all over the world to participate in a contest about issues touching on the intersection of immigration, law, social justice, and multiculturalism and the topic of this contest is The Racist Inside Me. Human beings have a dark side, and xenophobia – a fear of, or discomfort with, foreigners - is arguable, at least in part, a natural evolutionary response to difference. At the same time, human beings also have a natural inclination to community and a capacity to overcome our darker impulses and fears.
