The point you made about the cultural differences of blacks whose ancestors are from different countries is something that I can identify with. I am an immigrant to the US. I was born and raised in Jamaica. People seem to expect me to fit in with the other black students and join the black cliques which never made sense to me because I had nothing in common with them. In Jamaica there is no black culture, just Jamaican culture and I found that to be more compatible with other immigrants than native born Americans, even if they happened to be black. My closest friends in this country are from Japan Croatia and Pakistan. People find that weird when I tell them but these are the people I am most compatible with.
