Suggestion: Immigrant Patriotism

An image of Apu from The Simpsons episode "Much Apu About Nothing" would probably work. [1] [2]

If deemed necessary, we could combine it with another image to make it clearer that he's an immigrant, though he's such a well-known character that it might not be.

Not really feeling either of those, but they're better than nothing.

Both pics are ok, but I agree that they could only work in combination with another pic that shows he's an immigrant. Not everyone has watched The Simpsons, not everyone knows who Apu is.

Eh, I'm not sold on either.

So-so at best, I was inferring immigration status from the hat skin colour combination - came off as Hispanic to me.

I'm not particularly keen on either, but 1.2 is slightly better because the background demonstrates the Patriotic aspect more clearly.

I like 9 better than either of the Apu pics.

Another vote or two for 9 and we can run with it.
