We are from Nigeria and would be very upset if our daughter dated or married the typical American black. We want more for our kids.Many african immigrants would agree. I won't even consider living in an American black community.

I alsn consider an African American someone who actually recently immigrated African. There are really no similarities,  even features and skin tone is very different. American blacks have a very uniquely American appearance (and values). In my culture, Nigeria, focusing on your studied is expected. Getting a good job is expected.[/quote]

Thank you for writing this.

This is exactly what students have told me when I've questioned why the cafeteria is so segregated.  I have a good friend from Uganda who's now a doctor; he shares the same sentiment.  .

So the "black community" clearly is NOT monolithic.  And neither is the "white community." for that matter.  As someone who's first generation, I have values from two different communities" and close ties to another country.  [/quote]

Most immigrants, regardless of race, feel superior to their American counterparts.  Nothing new [/quote]
