Why Do Black Immigrants Do Better Than Native Blacks? - Ta-Nehisi Coates:
"This argument pops up from time to time, but it's been coming up a lot lately. It always seemed to me that the question answers itself--an immigrant is someone who's specifically come to this country to capitalize and exploit opportunity. Comparing any immigrant group to virtually any native-born group is like comparing the most ambitious members of one team with the entirety of another team. "
(Via Ta-Nehisi Coates.)
Great piece on this trope of an argument.
