Have they, like so many African immigrants, come here with higher educational status, and perhaps with more healthy savings as well, than most black Americans have? The selective immigration process means that African immigrants as a group even outdo native-born WHITE Americans. African immigrants and African Americans may strike you as worthy of comparison just because they’re both black, but in the context of this discussion, they’re really apples and oranges.
This whole discussion consists of you isolating and focusing on individual effort versus others telling you that social context is an enormous influence on individual effort. Maybe some people are simply blind to context?
