I’m not that optimistic anymore especially with a comment like that. Even if you know nothing about the immigration experience I think you’d have to ignore a lot for that to even be a question. Nobody goes through that much hardship to get to a place like the US and then goes like “k bye! I’m vacationing in Europe and doing it all over again”
I hope they were enlightened at some point but I’ve also ran into well traveled people with the same mindset.
Isn’t that the point of the quote though? Someone is raised with false prejudice, and then they find out reality is different when they travel.
