[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Asians are often considered “white adjacent.”

I’m not sure how the success of black immigrants gets explained.[/quote]

Black immigrants from Africa and the Caribbean come from upper middle class and educated professionals, not the poor laborers and servants there. You racists always ignore the huge advancements of U.S. blacks since partial enforcement of civil rights. There has been a huge increase in bachelors, masters, and professional degrees and incomes and standards of living. [/quote]

That can't be right. To hear the anti-racists tell it, nothing has gotten better for Black people since the Founding. [/quote]

Of course things have gotten better, but that doesn’t mean there aren’t many challenges still. Things have also gotten better for women but they still are behind men in many ways, such as representation in government, and they still make less than men on average—82 cents for every dollar a man makes. So should we as a society stop striving for more equality because “things have gotten better”?

Nope. We shouldn't stop striving. But we should be careful to note that many people - black, white, man, and woman - have worked very hard to improve conditions for minority groups and have had notable successes. Ignoring those successes leads to nihilism and a feeling of "can't win, why bother?" The people who justify smashing windows in the name of justice and equity because nobody ever pays attention otherwise pretend that there haven't been improvements in the past. [/quote]
