A modern day example of very high IQs and highest academic accomplishments
of a group of Negroes in the U.S. (higher than any other ethnic group in
the U.S.).
There is the example of Today of Philip Emeagwali and the ethnic group he
belongs to, the Nigerian-Immigrants (Nigerian-Americans).

Philip Emeagwali, a man of immeasurably high intelligence....
Emeagwali, whose IQ is too high to be measured on conventional tests....

According to the United States Census Bureau, Nigerians are the most
educated ethnic group in the United States....Sixty-four
percent of Nigerians in this country has one or more university degrees.
There are about 250,000 Nigerians living in the United States.
According to Dr. Emmanuel Oranika, half of the members of Association of
Nigerians, Montgomery have masters and doctorate degrees.

IMMIGRATION, POVERTY, AND ENTREPRENEURSHIP

Economic Studies, Washington DC.
The foreign-born
population as a whole has 13 percent less high school
graduates than the U.S. total population, but the number
of college graduates is about the same. As shown in the
table, a number of nationalities exceed the U.S.
averages, often by a considerable margin. Notable in this
regard, are the educational profiles of Iranians,
Egyptians, Taiwanese, and Nigerians.
The economic situation of Iranians and Nigerians is
noteworthy since, as seen in Table 3, they figure among
the most highly educated immigrants.

African Immigrants to the U.S.
Are the Nation's Most Highly Educated Group
According to an analysis of Census Bureau data by The Journal of
Blacks in Higher Education, African immigrants to the United States are
more likely to be college educated than any other immigrant group.
African immigrants to the U.S. are also more highly educated than any
other native-born ethnic group including white Americans.
Some 48.9 percent of all African immigrants hold a college diploma. This
is slightly more than the percentage of Asian immigrants to the U.S.,
nearly double the rate for native-born white Americans, and nearly four
times the rate for native-born African Americans.
In 1997, 19.4 percent of all adult African immigrants in the United
States held a graduate degree, compared to 8.1 percent of adult whites
and 3.8 percent of adult blacks in the United States.
The high percentage of African immigrants who hold college and graduate
degrees appears to drive another nail in the coffin of the scientific
racists who consistently hold the position that blacks are
intellectually inferior to whites.
