If you have the privilege, then yeah absolutely.

  Haha, "privilege"? There are immigrants fresh off the boat who don't speak english that own their own companies. What's your excuse?

    no monies
  • selfipaprazzi 7y ago
    Yeah, 20 years ago. Now the landscape has changed massively. The only minorities today who can start a new company, that makes them more money than a job at a FAANG company, are women.

          If you want me to look up the actual numbers, I can, but are you really suggesting that there isn't a single immigrant company owner in the US?

    Immigrant here, and I can read, write & speak english. If i don't have a job with a company willing to sponsor my visa I would have to get back on the boat and leave. My friends, who are from smaller countries have the privilege but I do not.
