Nigerians are also doing a little too well in the USA. They’re the next to be dropped from the intersectional hierarchy

"African Americans not from Africa"

Lmao, I can’t wait for the mental gymnastics from the media.

The categories that actually make sense historically are:

Native Americans. Were here for thousands of years.

Descendents of slaves. Didnt get a choice in coming here.

Mexicans in the Southwest, since the southwestern USA is historically and culturally unified with Northern Mexico.

Everyone else. Chinese, Indian, Bengalis, Italians, English, Scottish, German, Lebanese, etc. Left the old country of their own free will to try and make it in the land of opportunity.

Categories that the left uses:

Whites

Everyone else

It's because the left are anti-white and just use the "baffle them with bullshit" defense when called out on it.

The classic Chewbacca defense

Leftist logic: Black person born in UK = African American. White person born in Africa moves to USA ≠ African American.

u/MidwestRookie 2A Conservative Nov 12 '21

If you ain't black you ain't from Africa! Or you know, man, the thing...

They are called African African Americans. Seriously.

It’s funny because it’s believable. Damn you. I owe you a beer.

u/ObadiahtheSlim Lockean Nov 12 '21

Look at our first black president and vice president. Neither are typical African-American. Obama's father was Kenyan and Kamala's father was Afro-Jamaican.

u/Martbell Constitutionalist Nov 12 '21

I can remember in 2008 when news media organizations were discussing, with a straight face, whether Obama was "black enough."

68

u/Marioman64 Nov 12 '21

If he were a Republican they would have said he was too white to be the first black president.

u/--Shamus-- We Hold These Truths Nov 12 '21

You are correct.

u/R0NIN1311 Conservative Libertarian Nov 12 '21

Half-black. It's always very convenient for them to selectively forget Obama's mother was white. And communist. And I remember Kamala bragging about being one of the few very successful Indian-heritage women in her family.

22

u/namesrhardtothinkof Candace Owens Nov 12 '21

Lmfao throughout the course of a week Kamala will literally go from being Asian, to black, to Indian, then to Jamaican.

26

u/Small-Echo Conservative Nov 12 '21

I think the underlying reason is just immigrants do better because of the selection bias. The people who immigrate here legally uprooted their whole life and spent thousands to get here. They’re more likely to be motivated and not take for granted the opportunities they see. If you could get through the immigration process and lived in a 3rd world country any form of systemic bias won’t be enough to stop you.

u/[deleted] Nov 12 '21

I think that's especially true for far-away countries (especially those with large populations)- someone from, for example, India, Australia, etc will have to be one of the best in their country at a highly specialized skill to have a chance to make it over, while someone from Canada or Mexico can walk over the border

u/Intrepid-Client9449 USNA Religious Conservative Nov 13 '21

Yep. Most African immigrants are diversity visa lotteries. They are dedicated people with at least some money (not rich but is able to buy a $4,000 car and be a taxi driver for instance)

u/fishing_6377 2A & Small Government Nov 12 '21

Yes, typically African immigrants fare much better than African Americans in the US. The left likes to ignore this because it undermines their "racism" narrative.

2

u/Intrepid-Client9449 USNA Religious Conservative Nov 13 '21

African immigrants out preform white people on average. Not by that much, but still by like 5%.

u/maxroadrage I heart ❤️ the constitution Nov 12 '21

So I have a super controversial theory regarding exactly this. People who immigrated to the US where physically and mentally motivated to do better and generally strive for greatness through hard work and dedication. People who were brought to the US against their will either by losing to another tribe and sold off or bribed by the promise of free shit tend to not be motivated to do anything with their lives and want shit handed to them in perpetuity. To top it off these traits seem to be engrained either in their ~~dunna~~ DNA (don’t tell me what I know Travis) or culture.

u/Un1c0rnTears Navy Veteran Nov 13 '21

Why is this controversial, it makes complete sense.

u/mwatwe01 Libertarian Conservative Nov 12 '21

I saw an article not too long ago that Black men in general were becoming a bit too successful in the leftist racial hierarchy, and thus would now be placed on the oppression scale alongside white men. Which is to say not at all.

2

u/Intrepid-Client9449 USNA Religious Conservative Nov 13 '21

Yep, about 5% better than white people

When most of them were "middle class" taxi drivers and the like coming here on diversity visas.

Basically, all first generation immigrants. Second generation is the one that becomes the most woke. Take Obama or Kamala
