Palestinians in the United States: The Untold Success Story

[Tacitus]

he's palestinian? I had no clue. Awesome. No wonder AIPAC put up money to oppose him lawl

Yup, parents were Palestinian Christians that came over during the 50s IIRC.

Do you want to know the secret ? Let me tell you: Affirmative action.

I will have to disagree on that one. In South America affirmative action doesn't exist and our Christian Palestinians have done very well.

its the Israelite heritage that makes us (palis & Jews) so successful. After all, we are to be a light unto the nations.

Palestinians often do very well in their host nations and often becoming more successful than the native people.

Than some of the native people. Many are not great success stories and many of the host population are very successful. So I would say some Palestinians are more successful than some of the host country. I can't say that for the people in general.

I don't believe that. There are several different factors for both Jews and Palestinians having success, but there are also many that don't have success. I don't believe heritage is involved at all.

Syrians I know are very hard working, and I believe Palestinians are kinda similar. So I'm not surprised with their success.

Any ethnicity/race coming to America will be wealthier than Blacks in one decade. If really hard-working, they would be wealthier than democrats spoiled Whites in one generation.
I bet barely known Polynesians would release their success story shortly, and we shall wait eternally for similar thing from Blacks.
They'll remain blame slavery/Jim-Crow

The only way to success is to take responsibility for your actions, man up and go for it and don't give up on your goals. Many in the black American community do pass lot's of blame and remain with an attitude that the world owes them and many of them will never go anywhere in life. But there are some that are doing something more. I think it all depends on the attitude and motivation of the individual. Society in the western world is now set up to help minorities succeed, so failures can only be attributed to lack of motivation and a positive attitude. At least that's my opinion.

he's a good guy, he stands up for the Constitution and doesn't afraid of anything.
I used to have him on my friends list, a few facebook accounts ago, when he was first running for office.
