Here is the elephant in the room

Why do many Asian and African immigrants generally break the poverty cycle in one generation while other populations don't

It's not SES because most immigrants arrive at the bottom of the SES stack so they have to attend a "crappy" school with parents working crappy long jobs but somehow the students make it  [/quote]

Parents are already educated. Obama father was broke but had a PH'D in Economics. Also the best and most hard working tend to immigrate to the USA. If these culture were generally hard working and high achieving there would be no reason to immigrate in the fist place. Their leaving for a REASON. Also its no different if Michelle Obama and her brother Craig (Both Ivy League graduates) immigrated to another country, I'm sure they would be more successful than the native population. Your comparing "Africans" & "Asians" groups with close to a billion people in population to black Americans with only 40 million people, kind of unfair imo[/quote]
