someone wrote something about Asians and education, that's not true according to the US census. According to a summary of the 2000 census :

"Africans also have the highest educational attainment rates of any immigrant group in the United States with higher levels of completion than the stereotyped Asian American model minority."

Yes - Today, most Africans come here for the express purpose of attending college.

Agreed. Just like many other immigrants from third world countries, a lot come to the US for school so they can have a better life.
