@robvfour They do better than the original Africans brought over, but that's not saying much. I definitely don't agree w/ "pretty well"
@HbdNrx to the family mean remember, could just be skimming the +3SD and above ones.
@robvfour When I look around and see African immigrants, the overall impression is that these people are not a good addition to the country
@robvfour For cultural/diversity=conflict reasons, pop growth, and because the average just isn't as good as the whites already here.
@HbdNrx more likely to be doctors/lawyers than white americans IIRC. Gregory Clark talked about it in The Son also Rises
@robvfour There is A LOT of affirmative action for them. The Somalis, at least, aren't a particularly good group.
@HbdNrx but the other side of the coin is Nigerian doctors having their med-school reunions in the US because the whole year works there.
.@robvfour I would avoid Nigerian doctors. I doubt they're up to the standards of whites. (see extreme US med school affirmative action)
@HbdNrx affirmative action exists, like it or not, I'll bet the imports are better than the locals eligible for AA.
@HbdNrx and earn incomes comparable with some other elite migrant groups, dunno if that will persist in future generations but regression is
