It’s not “black culture” it’s “African-American culture”.

I’ve known several African immigrants from college and also professionally. They are almost universally hard-working, humble, and intelligent professionals who value their families more than anything. They also put in way more hours studying than me or any of my friends ever did because education is that serious to them- it means the difference between a good life in America or whatever life you can scratch out in Africa.

This is definitely the case, as I've noticed the same thing anecdotally. They value family, work ethic, and education more than anything. Many seem to be truly appreciative of what kind of opportunities America affords them.

Here's an article from a few years ago discussing data showing Nigerian immigrants to be the most educated in the US.

African immigrants know what actual oppression looks like.
