However as pointed out by others, any immigrant is highly driven even to have uprooted himself, and transplanted himself to America. Secondly apart from refugees and illegals, US has selectively picked immigrants who were highly educated. So again the first generation immigrants tend to be highly driven and successful, and those values are easily passed on to the next generation.
However the Negro population has a major problem. The family structure and values were destroyed during the days of institutional slavery. These still have not come back completely despite the 150 years of emancipation.

What you say is also factually correct, however do we know that this explanation actually accounts for all the differences in outcome? We seem to have made a big commitment here to justify our social engineering when we don't know that our assumptions are correct. Is it so terrible to ask where is the proof that all populations are of equal potential in all fields? We're making that assumption, giving preferential treatment trying to even the score and continually having to go back and make up a new explanation when the outcome doesn't match our models. I see nothing wrong with questioning the model, but of course when you do, the storm troopers and thought police show up enmass.
