No. California does not have a large Black immigrant population. The Black population speaks English and does worse than the average (including ESL students). Language alone doesn't explain the gap. Particularly since immigrant Asian groups are above average.
- TheRealPomax 4y agoThat's a "yes and", not a "no".
- Xeoncross 4y agoIn California, ESL students are primarily from Mexico. The sum of all other immigrants combined is not even close to this number. 40% of the CA population is Hispanic and Latino. I think that is what the parent was speaking about.
- klooney 4y agoIs that still true? I thought the mix had changed over the Trump years. My wife's prepandemic immigrant students were primarily from south of Mexico- Guatemala, El Salvador, even Peru.
- mistrial9 4y agolet me help you here - "black" is a particularly tragic demographic classification.. since a very large part of the world population live closer to the Equator, and have darker skin, than the people who wrote those English category names; add to that the particular unique form of slavery in Agricultural USA. The fact that the President of the United States for two terms, a Harvard Law School graduate, is as demographically "black" as Haitians with loud and proud, violent anti-literacy every day.. says to me that actually.. you cannot lump together people by skin color in this day and age.
