Fujun'na chi in Hoterallia

Jump to navigation Jump to search

Fujun'na chi (不純な血, "impure blood") is a Hoterallian umbrella-term refers to those who have permanent residency status in Hoterallia or who have become Hoterallian citizens or who are descendants of those immigrants.[1] Fujun'na chi is a very distinct group from native Hoterallians, having their own distinct dialect, accent, and communities, these communities are sometimes separated from Hoterallian communities around them.[2]

Fujun'na chi currently constitutes the second largest ethnic group in Hoterallia due to many immigrants assimilating into the general Hoterallian population. Many of the Fujun'na chi can trace their origin back to when massive influxes of immigrants started to find settlements in Hoterallia, many reasons due to Hoterallian's massive economic influence and trading history.[1]

The communities that the Fujun'na chi established by themselves are called Gaikoku Hito Kōkyō (外国人公共, lit.Foreigners Communities).[3] They appeared throughout Hoterallia, but many are concentrated in Western Hoterallia.

Statistics

In 2022, there were 3,907,671 foreign residents in Hoterallia, representing 5.1% of the Hoterallian population. According to the Ministry of Internal Affairs and Communications, most foreign residents in Hoterallia come from Riamo or other countries, particularly from Gran Rugido, Gavrilia, Wellsenfaile, Xzavaria, and Freice.[4]

Communities

Riamese Gaikoku hito kōkyō

Saishōkita no Gaikoku hito kōkyō (最商北の外国人公共) makes up a population of 298,443 in 2021.[5] The Saishōkita Fujun'na Chi currently constitute the second largest ethnic minority group in Hoterallia after Central Hoterallians.

Migration history

While some families today in Hoterallia can ultimately trace their ancestry to Riamese immigrants, especially the Fubini group, they were absorbed into Hoterallian society and are not considered a distinct group. The same is applicable to those families descended from Riameses who entered Hoterallia in subsequent pre-modern periods. Trade with Riamo continued from ancient times to modern times, with Hoterallia periodically receiving missions from Riamo, though this activity was often limited to specific ports.

The Riamese and Fubinians, sometimes referred to as Hokubu-hito (北部人, Northerners), came in rows of immigrants and long-term visitors throughout the decades. By the end of the 18th Century, there were an estimated of 90,000 Riamese living in Hoterallia, most of which were naturalized Hoterallian citizens with Riamese heritages, while others were students and asylum seekers.[6] In the 1900s, the demand for labor in Hoterallia was high, while some Riamese had difficulty finding jobs in the Riamese Empire. Thousands of Riamese and Fubinians migrated or were recruited to work in industries like coal mining.[7]

During the Peaceful Revolution in Riamo during the 1970s, a large influx of Riamese chose Hoterallia as a destination for migration. The numbers of Riamese in Hoterallia near the end of the 1990s almost doubled to around 200,000.[8]

In recent years, most of the Riamese fujun'na chi migrated to Hoterallia as students or guest workers through national programs held by the Hoterallian and Riamese governments.[9]

Integration

After the Great War, Riamese fujun'na chi faced various kinds of discrimination from Hoterallian society. In the new constitution written in 1945, the Hoterallian government created laws to support Hoterallian citizens by giving financial support, providing shelters, etc. However, after the constitution was put into place, Riamese and Fubinians living in Hoterallia were excluded from these privileges, so they were unable to get any support from the government. They were unable to get an insurance certificate from the government, so it was difficult for them to get any medical care. Without medical insurance, the Riamese fujun'na chi were unable to go to the hospital since the cost of medication was too high.

Furthermore, it was hard for the Riamese fujun'na chi to get a job due to discrimination. It was extremely difficult for them to become public employees since Hoterallia only let Hoterallian nationals and naturalized citizens become public employees. Since many Riamese fujun'na chi couldn't get a proper job, they began to get involved in illegal jobs such as "illegal alcohol production, scrap recycling, and racketeering". As a result, many Riamese fujun'na chi ended up living in slums or hamlets.[10]

Riamese living in Hoterallia today have established a stable presence in the country after years of activism. Through social movements, community support from other fujun'na chi organizations, other minority groups, and sympathetic Hoterallians, they have improved the social atmosphere for the Riamese fujun'na chi in Hoterallia. The Fubinians, in particular, were the most targeted group.[11] There are also Riamese living in Hoterallia who try to present themselves as Hoterallia to avoid discrimination. Most younger fujun'na chi now speaks only Hoterallian, go to Hoterallian schools, work for Hoterallian firms and increasingly marry Hoterallian. Most naturalization occurs among the young during the period when they seek formal employment or marriage. Those who have already established their life often choose to retain their Riamese nationality as part of their heritage.

Freician Gaikoku hito kōkyō

Namimin no Gaikoku hito kōkyō (並外民の外国人公共) formed a population of 2,098 in December 2021 individuals, many of whom were descendants of immigrants that moved to Hoterallia during and after the Hoterallian occupation of the island. A majority of the population resides in the Ryume Prefecture.[12]

Migration history

Namimin no Gaikoku hito kōkyō in Ryuiki, 1946

Large numbers of Freicians, mostly students handpicked by the Hoterallian authority for further education in the mainland, began to choose Hoterallia as a destination for migration. Partially due to the Empire growing need for labor and academic individuals. Even after the occupation ended, small waves of migrations would continue throughout the years. Hoterallia began to accept more immigrants by the early 1960s, which created more opportunities for Freician workers to come to work in Hoterallia. The Hoterallian Ministry of Education, Culture, Science and Technology continued the pickings of students from Freician schools to have a scholarship in Hoterallia, previously done during the occupation. All of the opportunities given made Hoterallia one of the top attractions for migrations. Today, Freicians who migrate to Hoterallia are mostly guest workers and students.[13]

Integration

Many of the Freicians Fujun'na chi had assimilated easily into Hoterallian society due to Hoterallian positive views on Freicians as a whole.[13] Several of the Freicians Fujun'na chi had also adopted a registered alias as their legal name.[12] Traditionally, Freicians Fujun'na chi have used Hoterallian-style names in public, but some Freicians Fujun'na chi, including celebrities and professional athletes, use their original Freician names. In a survey, eighty percent used their Hoterallian names when in Hoterallian companies and 30.3 percent used it "almost exclusively".[14][15]

Due to the relatively small population of immigrants, the Freicians who migrated to Hoterallia usually chose to reside with those who are native Freician or are descendants of Freician immigrants.[13] The community of Freicians Fujun'na chi is concentrated in the city of Ryuiki, the capital of the Ryume Prefecture, due to its similarities to the home island. A separate university, First Freician University of Ryuiki, and several small kindergartens and schools formed by the first wave of immigrants were established in Ryuiki, with the school's costs coming from tuition and other expenses from the parents of the students. While Freicians living on the mainland would attend a normal school in Hoterallia with Hoterallian when there are no Freician community-sponsored schools in their area.[13]

Gran Rugidoense Gaikoku hito kōkyō

Dai-hōkō no Gaikoku Hito Kōkyō (大咆哮の外国人公共) has a population of 12,371 in December 2021, consisting largely but not exclusively of Rugidoense of Hoterallian descent. Rugidoense of Hoterallian descent is known as Fujun'na Chi Hōkō.[16] Likewise, Gran Rugido maintains its status as home to the largest Hoterallian community outside Hoterallia.[17]

Migration history

During the economic recovery of Hoterallia in the 1950s and 1960s, the Hoterallian economic situation improved and achieved stability. Many other Hoterallian Rugidoenses went to Hoterallia as contract workers due to economic and political problems in Gran Rugido. A large influx of Rugiodense students began to come to Hoterallia through scholarship programs, which became the first generation alongside other small Rugidoense communities who have resides in Hoterallia before. A massive wave of Rugidoense students decided to reside in Hoterallia in the 1980s as the result of Gran Rugido's Segundo Renacimiento. Working visas were offered to Fujun'na Chi Hōkō in 1978, encouraging more immigration from Gran Rugido.[18]

The legislation of 1981 was intended to select immigrants who entered Hoterallia, giving a clear preference for Hoterallian descendants from countries in Olivacia, especially Gran Rugido. These people were lured to Hoterallia to work in areas that the Hoterallian refused to work in. Even though most Rugidoense in Hoterallian can be fluent Hoterallian and have a recent Hoterallian background, they do not "act Hoterallian" and have a Rugidoense identity, and in many if not most cases speak Spainish as their first or only language. This apparent contradiction between being and seeming causes conflicts of adaptation for the migrants and their acceptance by the natives.[19]

Integration

Rugidoense of Hoterallian descent, in particular, find themselves the targets of discrimination; some local Hoterallian scorn them as the descendants of "social dropouts" and "opportunists" who migrated to Hoterallia because they cannot be useful in their society, whereas others perceive them more as objects of pity than scorn, people who were forced into migrating by unfortunate circumstances beyond their control such as lack of opportunities in rural areas.[20] The largest numbers are concentrated in Magateza, Hasuma, where it is estimated that up to 5% of the population speaks Spanish as their native language. Rugidoenses are not particularly concentrated in larger cities such as Orajioe or Dai-Minato. Rugidoenses tend to be more concentrated where there are large factories, as most who first moved to Hoterallia tended to work in automobile plants and the like.[16] Many returning Hoterallians from Gran Rugido also suffer similar prejudice because they do not know how to speak Hoterallian correctly. Despite their Hoterallian appearance and heritage, many Hoterallian Rugidoenses in Hoterallia are culturally very Rugidoense, often only speaking Spanish, and are treated as foreigners.

Rugidoenses have benefited tremendously from migrating to Hoterallia. Anthropologist Alfonso Mijangos, coined the term "Jitsugyōka-gata" (実業家型, Businessman Model) to describe the second-and third-generation Rugidoenses' socioeconomic status in Hoterallia. The majority of Rugidoenses have a high socioeconomic status despite their inactivity in politics and smaller demographics. When first-generation Rugidoense migrate to Hoterallia, many of them faced a drastic change in their social and ethnic status. Many of the immigrants took over jobs that were viewed as low-skilled, high labor, and dirty by Hoterallian society due to an inability to speak fluently in Hoterallian. Despite the negative stigma, many of these blue-collar jobs in Hoterallia provided higher pay than white-collar jobs in Gran Rugido.[21]

Rugidoenses tend to take jobs considered undesirable by native Hoterallian, such as working in electronics factories, and the automotive sector. Most Rugidoenses go to Hoterallia attracted by the recruiting agencies in conjunction with the factories. Many Rugidoenses are subjected to hours of exhausting work, earning a small salary by Hoterallian standards.[22]

Most of the Dai-hōkō no Gaikoku Hito Kōkyō is concentrated in Central Hoterallia due to the similarities to the Gran Rugidoense geography. During the migration, Rugidoense cuisine also arrived in Central Hoterallia, which proved to be popular with the locals and later throughout the country.[16]

Vultesian Gaikoku hito kōkyō

Most of the fujun'na chi in Hagewashi no Gaikoku hito kōkyō (禿鷲の外国人公共) traced most of their origins as refugees during the collapse of the Vultesian Empire and the subsequence Green Jacket Revolution. Several official records proved that the first Vultesian migrants landed in Hoterallia all the way from the mid-18th Century.[23] As of June 2021, according to data released by the Ministry of Justice Immigration Bureau, there are 12,568 people who identified themselves as Hoterallian citizens of Vultesian descent. Of this number, 6,561 are expatriates.[5]

Migration history

The first few Vultesian migrants who arrived in Hoterallia dated back to around the mid-18th Century, with many migrants being merchants and traders who worked closely with the Hoterallians. Outside of small-time merchants, there were also high-level royal advisors that settled in the country to assist the Imperial Family and military personnel sent from the Vultesian Empire with the goal of military cooperation. Near the end of the 19th Century, there was an estimated of around 1,000 to 1,200 Vultesian living in Hoterallia.

The biggest migration wave came in the late-1910s and mid-1920s. Following the collapse of the Vultesian Empire and the Green Jacket Revolution, thousands of Vultesian fled the country, with around 5,000 to 7,000 coming to Hoterallia. In the 1929 census, there were up to 8,900 citizens that identified themselves as Hoterallia of Vultesian descent or Vultesian immigrants altogether.

In the decades following, Vultesian migrants came in the form of students. The Hoterallian government and Ministry of Education had worked closely with the Vultesian government to offer scholarships and studying programs in both countries.[24]

Integration

Hoterallian perceptions of Vultesians are generally favorable throughout the decades due to their heavy contribution to the country throughout history. In a survey conducted by HHK, around 90% of the Hoterallian viewed the Vultesian positively, with 4% expressing negative comments.[25]

Different from other ex-pats in Hoterallia, the Vultesians kept many of their cultural, social, and national heritages. Many Vultesians would keep their original Vultesian and only adopt a secondary Hoterallian name for work. Several second and third-generation Vultesians have also fully adopted Hoterallian names and assimilated into Hoterallian society.[26]

In the Vultesian-Hoterallians community, there is a phenomenon known as the "Gairai Tori" (外来鳥, lit. Foreign Birds). Coined by sociologist Yoshihiro Akiyama, the phenomenon describes the strange stigma between later-generation Vultesian living in Hoterallia and recently moved expatriates and immigrants.[27]
