Black Nigerians are achieving major success in the US. Doesn't this prove that the lack of success African Americans have is due to African American culture, and not skin color?

nigerian immigrants exclusively

I see the ambiguity and fixed it. My fault.

I think you are explaining away something g that is really just related to Nigerian work ethic and the strong family influence they have.

Regardless of programs available to them, they still have to have the work ethic and intelligence to finish the coursework.

Are Haitian immigrants excelling at these rates? How about Yemen immigrants? How about somalian?

This is addressed in my other comment.

You asked for explanation. I gave it. Now you're saying I explained it away?

There is no single factor. But it's very dishonest to assume there is a level playing field. Will say, family/tribal contribution is likely a big factor. Works for Asians too.
