''' Claim '''

"The likelihood of being misidentified as a member of a marginalized
segment of the host population disincentivizes assimilation, while holding
constant the national identity, migration status, and religious identity of the
immigrant group" (Adida and Robinson 297). The author argues that different immigrants face different likelihoods of being racially lumped with members of the marginalized host community, and therefore face different incentives to reify their ethnic identities as protection from race-based discrimination. They look for factors that cause Black immigrants to resist assimilation. The themes of this study reinforce the intertwined importance of cultural identity and cultural change.

''' Themes ''' 

The journal documents studies of Black immigrants selectively claiming the identity of US-born African Americans to protect against the racial discrimination of groups who have assimilated into American culture and the history of racism. This article follows the posed differences between Black immigrants and US-born African Americans, inferencing that there are incentives for one to separate oneself to avoid race-based discrimination. This study follows the assimilation of Black immigrants and analyzes the reasoning behind their decisions.
