An African emigrant comes to America, they don’t have to deal with the shitty legacy of slavery. Even when they’re coming to America to study (and in cases like this, it’s usually college) they still grew up in a system That doesn’t try to hamper their abilities. Remember, as the video states, like Kevin and Jamal inheriting different circumstances, Jamal and (say) Adewale inherit different circumstances. Adewale’s circumstances may end up being closer to a Black kid raised in a more upper-class milieu than Jamal, let’s call him Mike Mackenzie. Fact is, the intricacies of the subject can be extremely complicated.

Frankly, I’d love to see a take on the “same resume, different names” test that accounted for white-sounding names, Black-sounding names, and African-sounding names. How would they fare differently? I suspect that simply because the fully Africanized names aren’t quite affiliated with African-American culture, the immigrants may have an advantage over them, especially when The word comes out about how well they do in comparison. The question of why African-Americans Don’t do as well as white people has been on the minds of sociologists long before Africans started to emigrate in large numbers voluntarily, so there’s been less research on the latter.
