This study uses Anna Freud's Defense Mechanism theory to examine how social pressures and personal experiences shape their defense mechanisms. Julia internalizes her experiences, resulting in isolation, while Starr channels her experiences into activism, gaining strength from community support. This research highlights the psychological impact of discrimination and the role of community and resilience in resisting systemic injustice. By bridging literature, psychology, and social justice, this research offers insights into cultivating empathy and building support systems to address cross-cultural discrimination. %Z Febriyanti Dwiratna Lestari, S.S., M.A.
