Yo how come immigrants are so successful when they come over here?

The way the immigration system works in this country is actually very smart. The US tends to seek out the best and brightest from other countries.

Even refugees, who are a more random sampling, are made to have sponsors who will help them get settled/find jobs/find housing. And with DVs (diversity visas), even though the are supposed to be random, they tend to weed out less desirable applicants in later stages.

Basically the US tries its best to make sure you don't come over here a be a bum.

But I also can't discount the drive that people from poverty tend to have + their better money management. (My parents wouldn't buy us shyt..no jordans, no nintendo, no leathers. We went to school in the late 80s/early 90s in clothes they bought at the flea market and lived in project housing...so they could save money up and buy a house in the suburbs for better schools.)

Thank you for stating the role that the government aid programs have in making sure these immigrants do better/are better set up than the average joe citizen.

I know the Chaldeans here got a nice hustle. They come over and open a liquor store/gas station and every 7 years they have someone else come over and buy it. They don't pay taxes at all for the first 7 years.

And also beware, some of the arab stores change prices/don't give you the right change. I don't know how many time I've gone to buy something and it's a dollar more than the dude who just bought it before me. I stay catching them in the act tho

They don't care about trying to impress complete strangers, wearing the name brands that are cool this month, but wack as fukk in the next three. They're on a mission to elevate themselves before making sure you notice what their fashion sense is.

because they have hustle and drive, unlike these nikkas still complaining about some slavery bullshyt that they aint never experienced, waiting for some damn reparations and affirmative action

Yep. nikkas making excuses in here. And I just saw another "when are we gonna get reparations" thread a minute agoamerican nikkas are done. Others are passing down businesses and assets to their kids, nikkas still passing down "memories" and telling them to "go get a job" from a cac

A superior work ethic, culture pride, and the idea of capturing the American dream... The fact that immigrants can come here and out excel black folks here ought to really say something.
