Did you also read the part where they face higher unemployment than their parents did despite higher educations? Or the part from the actual article that says they face the same economic prospects as native born blacks with the same education level? Any of that?
"She measured their impact by looking at where the immigrant families lived and found that children of black immigrants who grow up in a more segregated area (which captures assimilation) or areas that have higher rates of discrimination are less likely to work." - so that is weird, you are saying that the whole government is broken but somehow if you live in good area this does not affect you.
Lol wait are you talking in terms of being represented in medicine right? Otherwise, Filipinos are definitely Asian.
Nobody denies that racism exists, but saying that your life success solely depends on your skin color no matter how hard you try is nonsense.
Earnings went up but employment rates went down. Hmm I wonder if, even though they received a college education because their immigrant parents encouraged them to go, they still faced the employment discrimination faced by native-born black Americans? That shows what, exactly? The systemic racism ingrained in to US culture
No one is saying it is solely based on skin color!!!!!!!!! This is not a ‘all or nothing’ sort of thing. It isn’t even based on skin color. It is based on the total package: skin color, SES, neighborhood, school system, upbringing, parentage (single parents), opportunity and so on all looked through the lens of statistics not individual case by case basis. God damn.
HAHAHA no one said it solely did but let's be clear, you line up a bunch of people no matter the field, let's say they have the same qualifications and brilliant. Trust they aren't going for the AA man or woman because of the toxic, ignorant beliefs society holds. People often assume an Asian or white person more intelligent.
People laugh reacted to this but... as a second gen immigrant from a country in a really bad place rn, I kind of agree. The opportunities available to people here, despite the fact that major systemic racism does exist, is pretty unparalleled compared to most places in the world. I’m just gonna go out on a limb and say that anyone who disagrees has either a) never actually lived in the US, or b) never lived anywhere outside the US, meaning they don’t really have the perspective.
Yet you still live here, yet you are going to become a doctor, yet will be making more money than 90+% of people in this country, yet will be more educated than 95% of the population, yet your children will have better life than most people in the World (and your home country) could even dream about. Again, nobody denies that racism exists, nobody denies that African American community faces issues but saying that there is some better country to live, study, start business and make a career than the USA is pretty inaccurate, even if you have black skin. As a jew I know what is ethnic discrimination, trust me, I have been in those shoes in my home country. But the US is a completely different place, though we see anti-jewish violence even here (Pittsburgh, October 2018), I am not going to compare who was more or less oppressed throughout the life, I just want to point out that if you want to achieve something, there is nothing to stop you in the US.
Lol if that's what you deduce from that 🤣
Am I? What I'll be one of the 7.7%? Because I luckily had a just a few more resources.
Lol my actual words were " to gain more insight and better educated on the issue" . Maybe you should be a cop or lawyer.
I assume that you will get into medical school and finish it.
SO you're dismissing everyone now..cool lol. I know, everyone who disagrees with you has no insight and/or is uneducated on these topics. Please don't go, stay and enlighten us, educate us lol
You're probably right but don't let these fools try to convice you that america is an evil racist system where choices and personal accountablity has no bearing on a persons future. Like for instance, those educated but unemployed minorities...what did they major in? Why don't we see more AA docs? Maybe they're choosing not pursue medicine.
Lol No, I'm exiting a conversation that clearly people aren't being receptive to and has deviated from the original post.
I mean, you’re the one who’s condescending everyone for the sake of proving ... what exactly? Yup, stay “blessed” dude. In all honesty, you just seem really vitriolic and annoying :/
many white and Asian people have a perception that having money = racism solved. That is not the case. LeBron James makes 70 mil a year and his house was still vandalized calling his family the N word. And barriers are around. There are barriers that keep people from accomplishing there goals. Why are URMs underrepresented. They didn’t just decide one day, “hey let’s Be underrepresented in almost all professional careers!” Barriers exists due to the history of the country. The notion of having your goals in your own hands is where you are wrong, that is not the case and was not the cas efor
Did you read my post? I said money + education = success, I never said = racism solved. Does anyone stop you from attending college?
DUDE don’t bother, people like the one you’re responding to get off on starting fights on the internet haha. This thread was about a simple misunderstanding of the ORM abbreviation, so let’s leave it there
I get you and hear you loud and clear. I actually understand and somewhat agree. I guess the demeanor through your writing from what I interpreted is that of apathy
You can mention me. And if i wanted a fight you would know. Stop acting like a snowflake this was just a discussion not fight. A disagreement doesn’t equal fightDUDE don’t bother, people like the one you’re responding to get off on starting fights on the internet haha. This thread was about a simple misunderstanding of the ORM abbreviation, so let’s leave it there
I wasn’t talking about you, sorry for the confusion. I thought he was responding to the same person who was responding to me.
