Why does language fluency not protect refugees from discrimination — and how does their sense of welcome erode?
Imagine arriving in a new country and feelingwelcome at first. But over time you notice: you get rejected more often, youare treated differently, and the sense of belonging slowly fades. Is that aboutyou? Or has something in the environment changed?
Cumming's (2025) study examines the experiencesof refugees in Germany. The finding is clear: the feeling of being welcomedeclines over time. Even those who learn the language and work hard atintegration face repeated rejection, subtle exclusion, and institutionalbarriers. These are not isolated cases — they are recurring patterns reportedindependently by many people.
Integration is not a one-sided process. It doesnot depend only on how much a person adapts — but also on how they are treated.What happens to a society when people feel welcome at the start — and thengradually lose that feeling?
