<p>I have a question:
Why are black and Hispanic students less likely to graduate from high school and attend college while asian and european migrants do the reverse? Is that because of something intrinsic to each specific culture?</p>
<p>Usually level of wealth and education of parents plays a big part in that; thus, if one poor person (of whatever race) didn’t attend college, his/her child will be less likely to do so (for financial reasons and because education likely played a lesser role in life).</p>
<p>Asians are generally assumed to do so well because of a hard-working culture thing; they do, however, fit with what I said before, as an Asian male makes, on average, more money than any other race/gender combination (being trailed by a White male). European and African immigrants seem to do so well with colleges, too, given (1) the selective nature of what immigrants are able to come here and (2) a drive to work hard to stay here.</p>
<p>also important to keep in mind the role of genetic differences.</p>
<p>so why aren’t families from Latin America successful as Asian and European migrants?</p>
<p>
No, it isn’t. Scientific racism is defunct.</p>
<p>
Many legal Latin American immigrants are successful. However, illegal immigrants tend towards poverty, and their illegal status makes social services and minimum wage (let alone benefits) difficult to attain.</p>
<p>the majority of Hispanics in the USA is from mexico. What about Hispanic non-mexican families?</p>
