> According to Hamilton (2019:11), 63 percent of first-generation Nigerian immigrants to the United States are college educated, which is significantly higher than in the U.S. population (Tran et al. 2018). This selectivity is further evident because “in Nigeria, however, only 7 percent of the population had earned a bachelor’s degree” (Hamilton 2019:11), as is also emphasized in Tran et al.’s (2018) discussion of “hyper-selectivity” (p. 188).
These immigrants are usually already somewhat wealthy and educated before they step foot in the US.

It cannot be used as evidence that structural racism does not exist. I am not supporting any claim other than the fact that parent's argument is flawed.
