As the demographics of the United States continue to evolve, so have the perceptions of refugees and/or immigrants entering this land of opportunity. Americans, who had lived on this land before any newcomers, are feeling a sense of fear when the news of refugees or immigrants is arriving in the nation. The purpose of this research paper is to analyze the difference in the perspectives of the White-European majority and ethnic minority populations on the recently arrive Hmong refugees from Thailand. In addition, discover whether attitudes toward the established Hmong population changed due to the influx of refugees.
