[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Culturally an African immigrant and African American are very different. I’m Asian American married to another Asian American. I do not have any close Asian immigrant friends. This was not on purpose but I never really clicked with the kids, now adults, who are actually from Asia. I have Asian American friends from various ethnic backgrounds but they are all very western. I don’t think your daughter has to try to be friends with the African American girls if she has a nice friend group.[/quote] You are not African. You are not African American. What exactly is your expertise here? Additionally it sounds like the child herself is not an immigrant but is first generation. The cultural lines between first generation descendants of Africans and the descendants of enslaved Africans quickly begin to blur as many first generation Africans begin to assimilate at least partially into black American culture.[/quote]
