@Jojothegoodperson I think thats an awfully prejudices view against immigrants that isnt as true as you might think. Immigrants, historically, have been the brightest minds we have had whether it be Tesla or Einstein.
@Jojothegoodperson Oh you mean once they got here, due to racism, many immigrants became poor and uneducated. Yes on that we agree. The racism of the past put in motion a viscous cycle that is hard to break even now where racism is far less than it used to be.

The crime rate of the AA community is a tough one because in part it comes from what you said earlier, racism of the past has caused a lot of harm in terms of things like lack of education or even just psychological abuse that ultimately gets passed down between generations.

No, I meant casey
