| Immigrants from Africa are able to prosper in US Only they are not. Per capita, they go to prison at a rate far higher than any other group of immigrants in the US. Even more surprisingly, they go to prison in higher absolute numbers than any immigrant group other than hispanics. There aren't even close to as many African immigrants as there are hispanics, and yet the Africans still go to prison at a rate far higher. Literally, no other group of immigrants does worse than Africans in this regard. Economically, the majority of African immigrants occupy the lower working classes. Even when controlling for generation, (ie - only comparing second generation immigrants), hispanics do better at the mean. Perhaps you meant to say that African immigrants do slightly better than Black Americans at the mean? Because other than Black Americans and Native Americans, African immigrants do better than literally no one else in society. Immigrant or non-immigrant. I certainly wouldn't call doing far worse than Hispanic immigrants "prospering". Mind you, there could definitely be other reasons for this. It's not that we should jump right to, "Well, it must be racism!" We need more info to make such a determination. But the demography based socioeconomic facts illustrate that the group you claimed to be "prospering", is clearly not "prospering". They don't even manage to get to "matching" the success of other immigrant groups. Note: I was extremely kind to them, and left Asians out of the comparison. |
