>Asians do better than whites on numerous metrics
As do immigrant Nigerians, who are presumably included. All minorities aren't subject to the same levels of discrimination. This should be obvious given the historical context which drives much of the discrimination. I don't think it is a coincidence that the model minority stereotype was created at the height of the Civil Rights movement.
- refurb 9y agoIf immigrant Nigerians do well, what type of discrimination are you talking about? It can't be based on skin color if what you said is true.
- Retric 9y agoSure it can as long as it makes success harder but not impossible. You are looking at a self selecting population which need not look like the norms of either the US or Nigeria. Really, immigrants and the direct children of immigrants tend to do well in the US as long as they are not part of a mass migration.
