Nigerian Americans?

Loved this. Lebron is clearly very sociologically informed, and a terrific writer to boot.

One thing that’d come across my mind when reading this was the circumstances of Nigerian Americans. I remember hearing anecdotally that Nigerian Americans do very well, and Wikipedia appears to corroborate this: "Nigerian immigrants have the highest education attainment level in the United States, surpassing every other ethnic group in the country, according to U.S Bureau Census data. Harvard University, for example, has estimated that more than one-third of its black student body consists of recent immigrants or their children, or were mixed-race.” if there are indeed groups of black people that do well in the United States, that seems to be a problem for Lebron’s social value theory (and a boost for the goods begets goods conception). But then he brings up the case of the West Indian immigrants. It seems clear to me that when Lebron refers to blacks he is referring to “American blacks,” or people who identify as American blacks (2nd generation W.I. immigrants, or maybe 2nd gen. Nigerian immigrants too.) Through the W.I. immigrants you can see plainly how race diffracts life experience.
