Sounding Off: “We are all Immigrants”
SUMMARY: In today’s Sounding Off column, our contributor Jose Cervera argues that the world is full of social refugees. People who do not fit into their environment, or people whose tastes and habits are unusual, or contrary to the dominant culture in which they live, or are just simply different. Today there is a new country of asylum, one in which all residents are newcomers. Welcome to cyberspace, where the oppressed, the persecuted, the unpopular and the ugly, find shelter; where every human being has the chance to be who he or she really is, regardless of gender, age, race or religion.
