Mateo Martinez is fifteen but his family moved to the USA from Mexico when he was a few years old. Although he loves his life in the USA, Mateo still faces stereotypes. ‘Some Americans expect me to be lazy,’ he explains. ‘That’s what they think of Mexicans. I don’t take it personally, but I don’t like that kind of label.’ Another thing which annoys Mateo is when other students ask if he speaks Mexican at home. ‘Some people don’t know that we speak Spanish,’ he says. ‘Our countries are neighbours, so people should be aware of our language and culture.’

Ji-Min Choy arrived a few months ago. When I meet her, she’s searching for a video on YouTube. In the video, Barack Obama is speaking about immigrants as a big part of American history: ‘We don’t simply welcome new arrivals — we are born of immigrants.’

‘I love this speech,’ says Ji-Min. ‘It makes me feel welcome. Do you know that almost one quarter of the US population are first or second generation migrants?’ That definitely makes life in this big country easier, but there are still awkward moments for Ji-Min. ‘Many Americans don’t really know where South Korea is!' she says.
