[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We are not White, we are first gen immigrants and we are not Christians.  Nothing of the generational stereotypes are true for us. We are Gen X and we have done well in every sphere of our life.  Our kids are Gen Z and they are the most motivated kids I have seen.

America is amazing! I'm enjoying the comments in this thread from successful immigrants of color. Goes to show that despite all the fashionable claims to the contrary, the USA is truly a land of equal opportunity, regardless of skin color. [/quote]

As an African immigrant who spent years in Europe, I wish many of the liberals in this country who always use Europe as a sort of "paradise" knew about the glass ceiling migrants face there. Despite graduating near the top of my class from one of the best engineering school in France I was quickly reminded that as an African im destined to be another regular engineer like anyone else.

I moved to the US wow. My career took off like a rocket. [/quote]

And soon they will force you to go back to Africa. Or send you to El Salvador or wherever. [/quote]

Maybe. I am not Nostradamus. But there is no place in the world where migrants can have the kind of success they do outside their countries like the United States. Nobody ever said that here is no racism in the United States. It exists. But American corporations pay for talent regardless of their ethnic origin. At least it's been my experience, I cannot speak for everyone.[/quote]
