The BIG PROBLEM with African immigrants (at least the ones that I work with) is that they are HARD WORKERS and take the education of their children VERY SERIOUSLY...much more so than the local blacks, or even nearly all of the whites that I work with.

They are simply in a DIFFERENT CLASS and make the locals look bad and inept.

I knew someone who was a teacher in an urban public school system that had an influx of African immigrants some years ago. The first time one of the students got into trouble that was serious enough that the parents were notified, the kid's father showed up at the principal's office and gave her a ton of crap over it.

He told her that if his son ever disrupted her class again, she should have him beaten in front of the class and sent him home with bruises all over him.

The principal had to explain that students aren't disciplined that way in American schools. LOL.

Yes. The Africans I have met in Los Angeles just have a certain calm dignity that sets them apart on sight. The whole angry-victimhood thing is beyond them. When they see it, they just tip their heads and smile, like “What??”
