What I wanna know is if their cultures are so great, why are so many trying to get here?
Good question I'll answer in detail later but it can be turned around as well. If Blacks outside of the USA want to come here then whatever disadvantages African Americans complain about occurring today must not be so bad.
I am now hearing more and more how African American racism towards whites is far more widespread than anti-black racism. To further the point, look at the extract written by a Bahamian tour guide who recently dealt with African-American tourists:
When you start producing some facts, and not what you are "hearing" or reading based upon what someone else is "hearing" then come back to us and we can have a discussion.
But this constant bombardment of anecdotal he-say-she-say-i-think-my-cousin-think ain't cuttin it.

I'm not at a disadvantage and I'm not complaining.
Immigration from the Caribbean is decreasing, not increasing. Further, coming to the U.S. is a separate issue from our culture, which Caribbean people certainly would like to maintain.
Agreed, although that explanation should probably be directed at DesertD since he claims the man's experience is not different. Not sure way.
Exactly there are immigrants from Germany and Japan according to his logic these cultures are somewhat lackin because some of their citizens choose to want to live in America. Never mind quite a few immigrants return home eventually.
Ya'll tell me this, If Caribbeans and Afrikans do so well in this country, why aren't they flooding the immigration lines to come over? Because they hand-pick who comes over from here from these places and even with that said the Caribbeans I met dislike the police and don't **** with white people because they go through the same thing we go through.
Through which port are boatload of Caribbeans coming in, you think? I think you're hallucinating just a tad. Please explain.
LMAO....hallucination? Yea, right.
If I announced in the morning that any West Indian that desires to leave and come to the U.S. can have a green card immediately, half the islands would be empty.
That ain't no hallucination whether you wanna believe it or not.

When immigrants from Germany and Japan came over, those nations were hellholes. Germany in particular (as it existed in those days) was constantly in one horrible war after another...not to mention that the purchase of land for people on the lower rungs of German society, was extremely difficult if not outright impossible. Europe was often overcrowded, and thin on resources.
That has nothing to do with the Germany and Japan of today. Those nations are doing well today because the U.S. brought them out of their warrior like and digressive states, and brought them into the family if democratic nations.
Your parents came here for the same reasons they did. Because the mother country was a hellhole of misery and injustice.

Not everyone wants to come to the U.S. No one in my family cares to come to the States at this point. There are other people who have built homes and are moving back or would like to move back. There are those who have come here to study and then gone back, as there is no real reason for them to stay. It really just depends on the individual these days.

What period of time was Germany ever a hellhole, after WW2? Even before Bismark's unification Germany was pretty up there in development. I could use the example of German Jews who were almost uniformly firmly middle class and above yet they still immigrated to America. Japan developed practically overnight and defeated Russia in war within 50 years of opening up itself to the world. So even before WW2 Japan was comparitively well off. Now of course not everyone enjoys these benefits equally ( I know you liberals are fond of equality) so folks try their luck elsewhere. That doesn't mean overall the culture is somewhat lacking. Heck England is often to considered to have the highest living standards in Europe going back to the Middle Ages and folks still left there to come to the USA, Canada and beyond. So is now English civilization lacking? Interestingly enough the French didn't do too much emigrating does that mean they have a superior culture?
That would be like saying American culture is horrendous because Detroit is a sewer or because a small percentage of the population is responsible for approximately half of this country's violent crime.
