Not only did I only use one of those examples, but I would contend that socially inequality doesn't have anything to do with. Blacks and other races have been, on paper, equal to whites since ~1950 in Brazil, 1968 in America, and 1994 in South Africa. Many modern black people do not even trace their history back to oppression, having come into these countries after apartheid was lifted. And yet, still, after all these years, social inequality and institutional racism is blamed for their failure to assimilate.

I wasn't talking about just you, I've heard this silly argument used a hundred times.

And boy would you be fucking wrong on that count boyo.
If you want me to just use the nation you brought up (Brazil) then allow me to point out to you that Brazil was built under a racial caste system where natives were second class citizens and Africans were simply slaves.
