Seems pointless in me even trying. I wake up, chekc the forum, and it's just pages of people back at it again :palm:

But it's polite, and I personally find it interesting. One of the reasons I frequent EEVBlog is for the social interaction and wide-ranging discussions among smart people. I come for the technology, but I stay for the people. FWIW.

I suspect that's because immigrating here, especially doing so legally requires significant effort, so you automatically get a bias toward people that are motivated self-starters that want a piece of the "American dream". They come here looking to make a better life for themselves and their families, they come here by choice because they believe in what we as a nation have to offer. Those that have been here for generations have usually never known real hardship, they don't know how good they have it here, they take it for granted and squander their opportunity.

That is the usual claim made, but there doesn't seem much hard research to see what the real issue is. In the US both African and Carribean immigrants do well. In the UK African immigrants do much better than Carribean immigrants. That doesn't seem to fit your model.

I still try not to discuss specifically prohibited topics, I appreciate that some off topic discussion is allowed, I don't think it's good to push the boundaries.
