Yes, I can attest to this, too. The nigerian parent stories I've heard.

These Nigerian parents do NOT play games.

My roommates are Nigerian and they pop out straight A's in some of the hardest science classes like it's NOTHING.

Yeah, I read some time ago that Nigerians perform in education better than all other immigrants in the USA. Which I believe because I've personally never met an underachieving Nigerian person and their parents are usually super stricts.

Yes, lord, best believe that ass is going to school.

Too bad quotas are deemed unconstitutional which basically affects a significant number of colleges. Awww poe baby.

Y'all are too damn much

I was just being realistic, not saying that it was just handed to them because I bet that many of them worked hard to obtain a good education, however being a minority certainly helps.

YES. SLAY.

You're ignorant of what reality even is, because you had no ****ing clue that AA benefits white women more than any other protected group. If AA was the cause of this, white women should be ranked #1. Add that to the fact they they have White privilege and they still didn't hit the mark?

Girl, sit.

You and that other negative person need to exit the thread. I am quite sure that you have to start before you finish, right? Who gives a horton-hears-a-who about that at this moment? The key is to encourage change: one step at a time.

African-American women are having a moment, let them enjoy it.

You and that other person you quoted are both irritated because no one cares about y'all good-for-nothing-having-no-life-sc**s-of-the-earth pa8etic life. Are y'all even in College? If so, y'all are probably at some irrelevant school with y'all irrelevant selves-- but, please, stay in school

.

Why would that irritate me, its a just a question, which actually irritated you since you went out your way to call me scum even if you dont know me.

I start my masters in a couple months actually. And I have a pretty solid job.
You talk about irrelevant schools which would in turn make me quite irrelevant, but then you go on to priase women for simply enrolling in a college. Contradictory at best.

Yes there are more black women starting college, but what sense does it make if you dont finish? Where are those numbers at?

I thought Black Males and Hispanic Males would both be the lowest but I was proven wrong Unfortunately Hispanics are still behind but hopefully that will change in the future.

I still don't understand why America can't accept that Hispanic/Latino isn't a race.

Why are white males so low though

I don't even want to start. Hardly any white males from my graduating class went to college. Not a lot of black males did either but I think slightly more did. It was mostly females going to college.

I got my degree though.
