tired old tropes about racism and any other excuse to blame someone else for their lack of success.

I always use the example of a nearby school district: Alief ISD in West Houston. It's 96% minority, and 30% of the kids are black. The American blacks are the fatigue types, getting in trouble, not graduating, no parental accountability. The African blacks that go to the *same school* tend to get academic and athletic scholarships to flagship universities and get accounting degrees, etc. The Nigerians, Kenyans, etc. absolutely despise the American blacks for being lazy, wasting opportunities, etc.
