Migration and Discrimination
Definition
This refers to the movement of people from one place to another due to discrimination. Discrimination can be based on race, religion, ethnicity, or other social factors.
Analogy
Think of it like being at a party where you're not welcome. You'd probably leave and go somewhere else where you feel more accepted. That's what happens when people migrate due to discrimination - they're seeking a place where they can live without prejudice.
