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

[JAY?]

Not necessarily but that's just one of the byproducts. It's just that for the most part we are able to distinguish between our WANTS and our NEEDS.

No we dont need:

• A $15 haircut every week
• A $100+ pair of sneakers
• A car that cost over 2/3 of our annual salary

My mom has been living in the U.S.A since 88 and probably eaten out at a restaurant less than 10 times. I wish i could do it too but me having grown up here since my late teens am somewhat "americanised" and take part in the lavish spending habits that are encouraged here in America. I still absolutely refuse to pay over $99 for any shoes or sneakers.

Some people here have the mentality of "if you make it you should spend it". Like this girl i was dating. I remember looking at a pair of jeans that i loved but the shyt was $85 and i'm like fukk no and her response to me was "well, why not? You make twice my salary and I buy those all the time. You can afford it. Just get it". As she said that I had the look in my face thinking..this is how some people actually live their lives.

shyt is depressing
I got cousins who work at pharmacies for minimal wage and live in the projects
They have no car and don't plan on moving but they got the newest Jordans and pelles. Talkin about someone was sellin the pelle for 300 and couldn't pass on a deal like that

People that immigrate here are some of the most clever nikkas you would ever meet. My biological Dad came here on a visa and got some gullible white chick to marry him and get him citizenship so he can get his real wife (my mom) back home and us citizenship. We come to Canada and he kicks that white chick to the curb.

I


I bet this is fairly common for immigrants who aren't necessarily the best of the best.

It's really no secret of how immigrants succeed. Work harder than anyone else, put in more hours, save like it's nobody's business, frugal like a mutha, strong family support, strong community economics, hire their own, and strong strong sense to succeed, strong need for education

Why the generalizations?

I grew up with mostly immigrants in nyc and most are just low to working middle class people. Why do some of y'all. Feel the need to act like y'all are balling out of control over americans who have been here longer? The one who were balling a lot of times were doing illegal stuff(not all). I just never understood this thinking too many foreigners have. I guess its narcissism to make up for something but its sad. I can feel the tension when some think cause I'm aa that I should be assed out when I'm not and doing better then them. This mostly came from latins and west indians not east asians. I know I'm not the only one who's felt this. Thank god all weren't like this because I would have lost my mind living in nyc.

 

[bouncy]

A better question is how come they don't stay in their own countries, and be successful there?

That's what I always heard when they would act lik they were better then americans. Now that I'm older I ask the same question even though I know the answer. Its just weird how people really bullshyt themselves to feel better even when the truth is right in their face.

 

[bouncy]

Discounting puerto ricans because they're American
Dominicans come here, work, save money, send for other family members
Rinse and repeat
You say they're living in poverty over here, they beg to differ
If there's a blackout here it's national news
Over there it's a daily occurance
Literally everyday, a black out that lasts for hours
They eat mud cookies in dr
Where u think all those 2014 broncos super bowl champion shirts went to

You're playing games. Yeah things are rough there but when they get here they still know they are in low status here. Its all relative. You're making sound like they don't mind being in cramped apartments in washington heights and worried about crime. The crime is better now but at one point them dominicans was murdering everything moving. Remember the wild cowboys in the crack era?.

I agree that most immigrants are not balling out of control, most are low to middle class. I was saying that for immigrants that are successful, those are some qualities that made them successful. I am an immigrant and I don't see myself as comparing myself to this person or that person, that would be really naive and pretentious of me. But my life growing up was vastly different from the life of an american and I do see many differences. You're right in saying that some immigrants feel the need to brag about their success, but I think that's just everyone, it's rare to see truly humble people in general. I don't know your case specifically so i can't comment on it.

Ain't no games being played. They don't care what status people claim them to be apart of. Of course their preference would be to have a good job and live in a nice middle class neighborhood but the truth is the vast majority of dominicans in dr would kill to be in a cramped apartment uptown with a 1980s crime rate. And the crime in dr is nothing compared to that of other Latin countries. And there's probably 100 countries just as bad if not worse. People here don't understand what it is to really have nothing. Imagine a life with no government. Ain't no food stamps. No soup kitchens. No shelters. No shelter. No one to sell your p*ssy to. Literally no option. People here don't understand that. I don't blame them but it's the truth. Like u said its all relative. Someone here might look at the situation they're in and feel hopeless while an immigrant might come here and be in that same situation and feel blessed.

Is this a serious question?
