It's probably that kind of politically-correct approach that creates skewed risk assessments in situations such as this one. Reality is what it is, not what we'd like it to be.
- Kalium 9y agoYour immigration and naturalization background is considered when you go through security clearance background checks. There's no tolerance for political correctness there, but neither is someone presumed to be a spy because they're naturalized.
- Veen 9y agoIt's not necessarily because of political correctness. A person with a family background and who may have been brought up in the target country has language skills and cultural knowledge that it would be difficult to learn otherwise. Those are useful skills for an intelligence agency to have. For example, a native Pashto speaker who spent their formative years in Pakistan is likely to prove a valuable asset, and it's hard to leverage that value without giving them access to sensitive information.
