@IllmaticDelta these people are sick in the head

 

[agnosticlady]

your link doesn't work. i get an error census page


just cause there are more in your area doesn't mean there are more.



Between 500 and 600k haitians

About 1.5 million Dominicans

Between 800k and 1.1 million Brazilians

It's not even in my area. There are many Jamaicans/Haitians in my area and other major cities. On the other hand if I am wrong I am wrong. With that being said if it's true I didn't know that there is such a strong brazilian population in America. Where are they most concentrated?

You beat me to it.

So anyway African Americans have been immigrating to Ghana in record numbers. Guess what? They are more educated than Ghanans as a whole. Why do you ask? Because the numbers are skewed due to there being so few Americans and so many Ghanans. That is the same situation that exist in the USA; the few Africans hitting the USA are mostly of the educated class, whereas they are being compared against all African Americans; including the educated class and your regular street brothers. .

Now lets wait until your average low end brother and sister from Lagos and other parts of Africa start immigrating to the USA and you are going to see those haughty numbers plummet fast; because Lagos has a true criminal class. And then lets wait until your average hoodrat brother and sister from the USA start hitting up Ghana. Then you are going to realize that every society has educated people and every society has got people holding you back.

It's a flawed comparison due to raw numbers and self selection. I don't know why people can't comprehend this.

So you need a mod after some African American called out your home country and told you the real reason that you are in the USA?

 

[IllmaticDelta]

Why yall mad tho

I don't think anyone is mad...it's just a flawed comparison. It's common sense that most immigrant/emigrate populations don't fully represent the masses of their country of origin because of self selection.

and thats only LEGAL, there's MAD illegal Haitians and Jamaicans


FLorida, New Jersey and Boston area

I live in Miami and meet many Jamaicans and Haitians. I meet Brazilians every now and then. Many of them are white Brazilian or the Indigenous. From what I have seen the non black latinos can usually afford to come over. They tend to live around the South Beach area. I've heard about a lot of Brazilains being in boston, but I didn't know about NJ.

Take this for example...a great example of self selection


Indian Americans: The New Model Minority

Most Americans know only one thing about Indians–they are really good at spelling bees. When Sameer Mishra correctly spelled guerdon last May to win the 2008 Scripps National Spelling Bee, he became the sixth Indian-American winner in the past 10 years. Finishing second was Sidharth Chand. Kavya Shivashankar took fourth place, and Janhnavi Iyer grabbed the eighth spot. And this was not even the banner year for Indian Americans–in 2005, the top four finishers were all of Indian descent.

It’s tempting to dismiss Indian-American dominance of the spelling bee as just a cultural idiosyncrasy. But Indian success in more important fields is just as eye-catching. Despite constituting less than 1% of the U.S. population, Indian-Americans are 3% of the nation’s engineers, 7% of its IT workers and 8% of its physicians and surgeons. The overrepresentation of Indians in these fields is striking–in practical terms, your doctor is nine times more likely to be an Indian-American than is a random passerby on the street.

Indian Americans are in fact a new “model minority.” This term dates back to the 1960s, when East Asians–Americans of Chinese, Japanese and Korean descent–were noted for their advanced educations and high earnings.

East Asians continue to excel in the U.S, but among minority groups, Indians are clearly the latest and greatest “model.” In 2007, the median income of households headed by an Indian American was approximately $83,000, compared with $61,000 for East Asians and $55,000 for whites.

About 69% of Indian Americans age 25 and over have four-year college degrees, which dwarfs the rates of 51% and 30% achieved by East Asians and whites, respectively. Indian Americans are also less likely to be poor or in prison, compared with whites.

So why do Indian Americans perform so well? A natural answer is self-selection. Someone willing to pull up roots and move halfway around the world will tend to be more ambitious and hardworking than the average person. But people want to come to the U.S. for many reasons, some of which–being reunited with other family members, for example–have little to do with industriousness. Ultimately, immigration policy decides which kinds of qualities our immigrants possess.

Under our current immigration policy, a majority of legal immigrants to the U.S. obtain green cards (permanent residency) because they have family ties to U.S. citizens, but a small number (15% in 2007) are selected specifically for their labor market value. The proportion of Indian immigrants given an employment-related green card is one of the highest of any nationality. Consequently, it is mainly India’s educated elite and their families who come to the U.S.

Now compare that tiny minority in America to their homeland

Why the big gap? It's a matter of numbers and what types of emigrants (poorer types, more motivated and educated) is the country in question sending out and abroad. You have to apply this same logic to the article by the OP because this is how it works when you want to make a comparison like this.
