Notes

  1. Our use of the term “immigrants” encompasses both voluntary and involuntary immigrants (e.g., refugees, asylum seekers, etc.).

  2. Our use of the term “host/majority” does not mean that “host” is synonymous with “majority” as there are various ethnic host groups or communities in any given country and these groups may or may not be the majority group.
