I think it would be useful to you to investigate the concept of internalized oppression, a process in which the oppressed groups start believing in the attributes the oppressors define them with. One of the results, is that the oppressed groups start oppressing others....

Dear Shahar

Sorry my answer comes very late.

For Central Europe, Andreas Wimmer has found out, that immigrant minorities tend to make social boundaries towards more newly arrived immigrants by emphasising precisely those markers that the majority uses against the more newly arrived as well. They may even be more decisive in their boundary making than the majority, in order to defend their gained belonging and participation.

For primary school teachers in Switzerland, I have found the same effect in those teachers that are strongly oriented on social upward movement. In my study, I call them 'type D'. From the four types I have identified, type A would be particularly open towards minorities, while types B and D would be particularly distancing.

Good luck with your project,
