Of course not. I usually point this out when, in an argument over Affirmative Action, supporters point out that AA should continue to exist because black people face more racism when trying to get a job. but african immigrants look the same on the outside as their african-american counterparts…so why is it that one group doesn’t seem to face “racism” to this extent and is successful, and the other group does? obviously a difference in values and upbringing. The rich black kids at my HS couldn’t give less of a crap about grades, but my Sudanese immigrant friend graduated in the top 10% of her HS class and is currently at Dartmouth. It’s no wonder that descendants of African immigrants are generally more far successful than african-americans.
No, not sure where you’re getting that from…I think they impare better educational values…generally, if you’re parents have doctorates, they’re going to teach to you value education more, aren’t they? to me, that’s what makes sense, but the SAT score chart you posted obviously contradicts that. That really makes me wonder, what other factor accounts for such a low SAT score, even in educated black americans? My sociology teacher would always point out that it was cultural differences, but just personally, I think that sounds like BS.</p>
